Best method of tree planting!

-

 So after 10 years of phantom planting I've managed to work out which trees and methods work best for my environment. 


This is a Bloody Butcher heritage Irish variety apple tree grafted onto an mm106 rootstock. It was grown in a polytunnel for the first year then planted out in the wild at 1 year old. All I have did is give it a good mulch and nothing else. No water, no feed, no extra TLC. 

Just plant, chant and forget about.  These trees are looking better than any trees I've ever phantom planted. 


They grow into much more better natural trees when planted small. It replicates nature more I think. The only thing is bareroot trees can only be planted in late autumn and winter. 


You can plant potted and root ball trees anytime of year but its a risk with them as they need much more TLC. Like supported and watered for the first few years to get them established.  Its also much more hassle planting bigger trees. Never again will I be planting larger trees, 


Larger trees also cost a fortune too. With some patience planting them small you'll save a fortune and have better natural trees. 


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...
