The centre of the Spiral

-

 This is the Irish yew tree at the centre of The Phantom Planters Oak spiral. 

I was out the other day giving it a good water and a mulch and its looking amazing!


I'm in the process of gathering loads of Mourne granite rock which I'm going to built a circled wall around the Irish yew. Going to make this a real feature that will last for many lifetimes. Yew trees live for thousands of years with some saying they are immortal. 


I also have some amazing news to report on the iconic oak collection that line the spiral. All 34 ancestors of the most famous oak trees in the UK and Ireland are all coming to life. I have had a 100% success rate. This place really is history in the making. 

This is probably the only collection of its type in the world preserving the linage and genetics of the oldest of most iconic oak trees on these islands. 


Here is the list of all the oaks we have. I've got 3 more to gather in the coming years to bring it up to the magic number of 37. 


1. Bowthorpe oak

2. Robin Hood aka Major oak

3. Parliament oak

4. Big Belly oak

5. Knighthood oak

6. Brimmon oak

7. Capon oak

8. Blenheim palace oak 4012

9. Remedy oak

10. King oak Blenheim palace

11. Clachan oak

12. Ketts oak

13. Brian Boru

14. Belvoir oak

15. Chained oak

16. Magog oak

17. Allerton oak

18. QE1 oak

19. Old Knobbley oak

20. Fingeringhoe oak

21. Marton oak

22. Phantom climbing tree oak

23. Wyndham oak

24. Panshanger oak

25. Crouch oak

26. Domesday oak

27. Ufton oak

28. Darley oak

29. Druid oak

30. Majesty oak

31. Old Man of Calke oak

32. Birnam oak

33. Akay oak

34. Pollard oak Burnley 


Again thank you to all the Paramili-Trees SAS (Special Acorn Service) Volunteers who helped collect and post me the acorns. Hope one day you can come and visit the spiral. 


Feel free to drop me a tip below. Need all the money I can get these days. My life is becoming more and more consumed by The Phantom Planter.

  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...
