Join the A-Corn Team Today!

 Cant believe the response I got yesterday on my post about checking out acorns on some ancient oak trees from around the UK for me, two people went and sent me a video of the trees, with the Marton oak in Cheshire not producing acorns this year and the Capon oak in Jedburg being full of acorns.


Only need to get the Big Belly oak at Savernake and the Birnam oak at Dunkeld checked out but I've been told that people are on the job this weekend finding out for me!


Its really got me thinking about what I can actually do with this page, I really didnt expect to see this level of interest and enthusiasm on this project of mine!


I've been inundated with messages and comments from people wanting to help out and telling me of other ancient oaks that they could go and get acorns from to add to the oak grove museum I'm setting up, it will be an oak grove of all the offspring of the UK and Irelands most famous and iconic oak trees planted up here in Belfast with each tree being labelled of who the parent tree was and the stories behind them!


So I think we need to create a new branch of Paramili-Trees and it will be the "A-Corn Team"...


This is the perfect time of year to be going and checking ancient oak trees to see if they are producing acorns, from now till the big fall in autumn I'm going to be putting out requests for old oak trees to be checked for acorns and if you know of any ancient and iconic oak trees in your area with stories behind please go and check on them and let me know by message if they have acorns and I'll give you details on how and where to post them to me and maybe they could be added to the oak grove museum.


If you do pick acorns put them in moist soil right away...


I was on the phone to the Bowthorpe farm in Lincolnshire which has one of the most iconic oaks in the UK and was told that it has acorns this year but they dont like to give them out, maybe someone on here can pull a few strings for me on this, I have one sapling from this beauty but would love some acorns to grow myself...


Thank you guys for all the help and interest on this, I believe we all need to be collecting seeds of our ancient trees and growing them, its so important to protect the DNA and genetics of these trees and its a great way for all of us to get connected back to mother nature which is a massive thing we are all missing these days too!

  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"..
