The Bowthorpe Oak

-

 This is a sapling I collected personally a few years ago from the people who own the land where the Bowthorpe Oak stands. 


I'm thinking this should maybe be the first oak tree to plant in my spiral oak grove as its the first and largest oak I have from I got the idea to create this. 


Although the first acorns I collected for this idea was from the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest. 


Once I got this idea into my head for creating the oak grove, the Major Oak aka Robin Hood oak was the first tree I wanted acorns from and the first tree I wanted to visit. 

So glad I did go that year as I'm hearing mixed reports that the Major oak is really sick, some say its dying or dead. 


After grabbing loads of acorns from the Major Oak, the next tree on my list to visit was the Bowthorpe just down the road. The Bowthorpe wasn't producing acorns that year but the guy that owned the land had a small sapling to give me which he grew from an acorn of the Bowthorpe oak. 


So between the Robin Hood oak and the Bowthorpe Oak, I'm not so sure which one should go first. 


Its amazing to think that all these acorns from all the most famous and iconic oak trees from all over the UK and Ireland will be planted together in the spiral oak grove. 


I have nearly all the acorns I want thanks to you Paramili-Tree SAS guys. ( Special Acorn Service). 

All I need now is for them to germinate and next year get them planted in the spiritual spiral. 


All of the oaks on the 50 Great British trees list I have acorns from. 


I challenge you all to collect acorns,  grow them up and phantom plant. 


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...
