King Oak Blenheim Palace

-

 This is the King Oak at Blenheim Palace, said to be over 1000 year old.

I got acorns sent to me a couple of years ago that was collected from this tree by a good supporter. 

The acorns germinated well and I now have a few small oak saplings in my collection from this magnificent tree.


Last year I paid a visit to Blenheim Palace, mainly to look for the King Oak which I could not find. The place is massive and I walked for hours looking. None of the workers there knew where it was either.

Blenheim has the largest collection of ancient oaks in Europe. Any wonder I couldn't find the King oak, the place is full of massive oaks, a whole forest full of them like I've never seen before.

Well worth the visit though and so glad I went.


This year I will be putting out requests again for people across the UK and Ireland to go and check on old iconic oak trees for me to see if they are producing acorns.


The Crouch oak, Surrey

Queen Elizabeth oak, Greenwich Park

Allerton Oak, Liverpool

Chained oak, Alton towers


These are just some I would love to get checked out this year. If anyone is near these trees could you please have a look and see if any tiny acorns are starting on them yet and let me know.


All these acorns that are collected from these iconic trees are going to be planted up together in an oak grove here in Belfast, preserving the genetics and stories behind these ancient trees. 


10 years ago I started phantom planting. 

Every day it enriches my life ever more.

Thousands upon thousands of trees I've stuck in the ground the right way up and left it to nature.

People ask me often how to plant a tree. All I did was make sure it was the right way up. What did I know about tree planting back then! My intention was to help nature and sort my karmic debt. 


As I go about my life daily these trees are towering over me everywhere I go. By the road side, at my gym, on my daily walks. From the mountains to the hood I've phantom planted everywhere I go. 

Its great to be part of creation. 

Most my life I was part of destruction. Chasing paper and digits at the expense of mother nature and my soul. 

The material world is dead, stagnant and a novelty. 

Plant yourself a forest guys and see how you will feel in years to come. 


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 ...

Onlyfans definitely gets some attention!

 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...
