Ulster Trees for Ulster Bees!

-

 I've got a new and exciting project starting soon, I've teamed up with a good mate of mine who has extensive knowledge and a passion for trees and we have been agreed a piece of land to build our tree nursery on!


It will be the phantom planters secret location heritage apple tree nursery!


Our long term plan and goal is to grow all our own native variety apple trees, for years now I've been buying them round other nurseries and garden centres and its hard to believe but nearly all our native varieties are grown in Holland and shipped over here, how crazy is that, I find this a bit baffling!


Why cant we grow our own here?


None of us have grafted before but we are going to learn, we have a vision of producing many different types of native heritage apple trees and giving them to schools and communities for planting all around the country and to other phantom planters too!


I've been watching and observing many native apple trees I've phantom planted myself over the years and they really are the best suited here to deal with disease and bugs , they look so healthy and vibrant and need alot less molly cuddling also were as with many of these dutch types they dont look so happy!


There is also a whole host of other ecological benefits in keeping all tree growing local and native, Ulster Trees for Ulster Bees!


This is a lifelong passion that me and my mate have, it will take a couple of years to get some decent sized planting stock behind us, we are aiming to graft 500 trees this year and see how it goes and take it from there.


Really excited about this, it's been something I've been wanting to get going for along time now, its the next step for me, I was always going to do this one day!


Going to fill this place to the brim with apple trees!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
