Kett's Rebellion Acorns have arrived!

-

 Got a parcel of acorns through yesterday from the Kett's oak tree in Norfolk, thank you so much to the Paramili-Tree A-Corn Team member for doing this, some of them look really good and I've got them potted up and labelled already!


What I love about this tree is in 1549 Robert Kett and his brother William addressed a group of men in what was to become Kett's Rebellion against the rising cost of living and the closing off of commons land.

I got a lot in common with Robert Kett's only we the Paramili-Trees are rebelling in a different way!


I'm going to end up an expert in ancient oaks by the time I've finished, I'm learning and absorbing so much in dealing with these acorns and reading into the background of them, loving it all too! 


These are the types of oak trees I'm looking acorns from, I've been getting inundated with offers of acorns from old trees around the UK and its a lot for me to deal with in answering all the messages, yesterday my eyes were sore and my head spinning, I've never looked at a screen for so long in my life, please understand if I dont get back to you, it's only me on here answering and I've my own business to try and run also as well as the phantom planter.


Please please only message me with oak trees with special stories, iconic famous trees like the Kett's oak or the likes of the Major oak in Sherwood forest where Robin Hood hid in, which I have many acorns from this tree btw!


I'm so grateful though for the response I've been getting and as much as I'd like to chat and get back to your messages it's just not physically possible for me.


People sending me messages also saying its illegal to send soil to Northern Ireland from the UK, this time 2 years ago it was ok to post soil because we had a different fictional and imaginary border and today they have moved this fictional line elsewhere and now soil imported can potentially cause all sorts of problems!


The lunatics are really running the asylum these days dont you think! 


keep posting guys, I've smuggled alot worse in the past, I've always wanted to get arrested for phantom planting a tree anyway, be good to see if border control might come after me now for smuggled iconic acorns, no better platform to promote phantom planting than the courts, would probably hit the EU courts also giving phantom planting worldwide attention! 


Anyhow I dont really think it will go that far, I mean its only a bit of muck, theres probably more muck being carried on the soles of peoples shoes and car tyres coming back and forward, sometimes you wonder who makes these crazy laws up! 


Thanks again to the A-Corn Team for all your efforts! 


Rise of the paramili-trees - UTPP up the phantom!

  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"..
