Canker sores

-

 This apple tree had a real bad canker sore in the main stem of the tree which some say canker is incurable. Its a type of rot that spreads on your stem and branches and will eventually kill the tree. 


When its on a branch you can cut the whole branch off and hope for the best, but when its in the main stem like this I have seen it kill a few of my apple trees in the past.


A lady on here said to me a few years ago that if you cut out the canker as best you can and cover the area with bitumen paint it cures the canker and will stop it spreading. She has been doing it for years she said.


We did just that on this apple tree about a year ago and look at it now! There is definitely no signs of canker here.


Still to this day though I've never seen a James Grieves apple tree variety get canker. I've seen canker on so many apple tree varieties over the years but never on a JG!


If your looking a tree to phantom plant that will grow healthy and strong in our Northern Irish climate, good old Scottish James Grieves is a good bet. I have never even seen a JG tree get sick or look unhealthy.


I challenge you to phantom plant a tree 


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...
