I have some doubles and triples of each one, thats my plan as I want to keep a few spur for replacements in case any dont make it.
So if all the acorns germinate this year that'll be 29 oak trees grown from 29 of the oldest and most iconic trees in the UK and Ireland. I have 8 more to collect to make up the 37 for the spiritual spiral oak grove I'm creating.
This is a pic also of all our 1000 Heritage Irish apple trees we've been propagating for the past year that are getting planted in the field next to the spiral. There is already 300 planted and we are planting another 200 this year making an Irish orchard with 500 apple trees.
What I love about this whole mission is it all been helped and supported by The Phantom Planters. All the funded thats made all this happen has come from my wheeling and dealing and from you guys when I put teh begging bowl out. Way back at the start of my phantom planting all the trees I planted were paid for by money I used to spend on drink and drugs. Then as time went on and it got so big I had to put the begging bowl out.
No corporations, advertising companies or government funding bodies has had anything to do with how this has all grown. I've had plenty of offers over the years for grants and promotional stuff but it's not my think. I know what way these things go when you start taking money from big companies and governments. They then think they own you. I cant even be annoyed with interviews or documentaries, I get asked this a lot, did a few in the past but its not my thing either. Best letting them all slide on.
This is a grassroots movement and always will be....
