Irish yews for my cabin.

-

 Bought myself some Irish yew trees yesterday to plant in pots around my new cabin. 


You know I couldn't find Irish yew trees grown from Irish yew trees in Ireland. These ones were grown in France! 


Many other Irish yews are grown in Holland. 


It's really got me thinking, I may take a trip down to Florence Court in Enniskillen were the original Irish yew still stands and get cuttings from to grow my own. 

All other Irish yew trees around the world descended from the Florence Court yew. 


If you were to grow a seed from an Irish yew it reverts back to a common yew. So to keep the Irish yew genetics you have to take cuttings. 


Another tree I'm pretty passionate about is our native prostrating juniper. I have some of these growing too. Known as the mountain yew. 

The yew kills as it's deadly poisonous and the juniper heals. They both are the only known conifers to produce a berry. 

So much mystery surrounding these 2 trees. 

Both these trees live for thousands of years. Some say the yew is immortal. 


Have a great weekend. 


Peace and love

  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 ...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
