Mission complete!
Was on a bit of a mission yesterday out round the country getting apple tree scions/cuttings from some heritage Irish orchards.
Love the Lichens all over the apple trees behind me in the pic. I found a broken branch with loads of Lichens on it and I'm bringing it up to one of our orchards to see if it will spread. I think I heard before though that Lichens only grow in clean environments which is maybe the reason you dont see it too much on city apple trees.
After we got our cuttings we went to Jampa Ling Buddhist Monastery to add some tree guards to trees I planted there a few weeks ago as I heard the place is full of Hares. Then as we were sitting getting our lunch this massive Hare just walked through the garden in the direction of the 7 apple trees I planted there. Was an amazing sight! Think I got there just in time!
Grafting season is coming up soon guys, right after the Spring Equinox (20th March) when nature pushes the life button and the sap starts to rise is the best time for your grafts to take. You have up until the first week or so in April to do this.
Love working in sync with nature, its how we are supposed to roll.
I challenge you to phantom plant a tree
Peace and love
