Worlds biggest oak tree!

-

 Some pics from visiting the worlds biggest oak tree yesterday! 


I seen this oak tree last year and was keen to get back and see it again this year to see if it produced any acorns as I would love this trees offspring in my collection of iconic oak tree that I have.

But it hasn't produced any this year though, I will be back to check on this next year again, really want this trees seeds for my collection as its the most empowering tree I've yet to see! !


Its all hollowed out and I climbed inside it and was able to hold my two arms straight out side ways and not be touching the tree, its amazing its able to support itself as it melts back down into the ground to where it once came from. 


300 years growing 

300 years standing proud 

300 years to die melting back into the ground.


Said to be the average cycle of the oak tree. 


I love the fact this tree is in an old ladies garden which is why I wont disclose the location and left to go its natural way, if it was on public land theres no way it would be left like this for elf and safety reasons.


It's believed this tree was planted in 1269.

  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"..
