I Salute you!

 Thanks again to all the Paramili-tree SAS ( special acorn service) branch for going out and collecting me all the acorns for the oak grove museum I'm going to create!


Here is the list of trees I've got acorns potted up from so far,


1. Belvoir oak Belfast, oldest oak in Ireland right next to the phantom planter HQ.

2. Brian Boru oak, planted by the last king of Ireland.

3. Capon oak Jedburgh, over 1000 year old.

4. King oak Blenheim Palace, over 1000 year old.

5. Knighthood oak, known as the Queen of the forest.

6. Blubberhouse house oak, the last ancient tree of Knaresborough forest which recently just fell to ts death.

7. Bowthorpe oak, known as the oldest and largest oak tree in the UK with a girth of 13 metres.

8. Old knobbly oak, 800 year old in Essex.

9. Ketts oak Norfolk, a famous rebellion was addressed by Roberst Ketts under this tree in 1549.

10. Major oak Sherwood forest, Robin Hood was said to have hid in this one.

11. Big Belly oak Wiltshire, said to be 1100 years old, I only have 2 from this tree and would love some more.

12. Chained oak Alton Towers, lots of legends surrounding this tree.

13. Turner oak Kew gardens, the tree that died and resurrected.

14. Parliament oak Sherwood forest.

15. Remedy oak near Wimborne, this tree is said to have some healing powers.


Can you imagine the acorns produced from this oak grove in years to come when these all cross pollinate!


These are the types of trees we all want to be collecting acorns from and growing, the phantom planter Facebook page just passed 114k followers yesterday, can you imagine all of us got collecting acorns from ancient oaks and grew them up for phantom planting?? What sort of a furture would we be creating and what a legacy we would all leave behind!

There is no legacy like it in the way of the world, I mean who ever gets remembered for money or medals, fast cars or big houses, very few, your gone and forgotten and thats it!


Leave behind trees that will live for over a thousand years, thats Tutankhamun type stuff!!

We will live on through these trees, our future ancestors will feel your presence from these trees long after we're gone! Pretty powerful stuff when you really get your head out of the monopoly board and think about it!

I've spent enough of my life gathering meaningless toys and tinsel like some parasite using mother earth as my host - Time to level up!


Theres still time to be checking and I was wondering if there is anyone in Surrey area who could go and check on the Crouch oak in Addlestone to see if it has any acorns and also the Grantham oak in Lincolnshire, these are two that have been entered in tree of the year and would be amazing if I could get acorns posted to me from these trees for my collection.

If there is any acorns on them put them in a bag of damp soil and message me please.


Again to all the Paramili-tree SAS branch - I Salute you!!!

  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"..
