The Phantom Planter

 ******Please direct message only if you can help and only message about trees in the list******** Email - Phantomplanter1gmail.com Good morning guys as most of you know its coming into acorn season and for the past many years I've been on the hunt collecting acorns from all the oldest and most iconic oak trees from around the UK and Ireland. I'm looking to recruit some new Paramilli-Tree SAS members (Special Acorn Service) to help me out on this mission. Below is a list of trees that I would love to get checked out if producing acorns this year. If anyone is close by to any of these trees could you please check and message me directly if the trees are producing acorns this year. Many wont be ready until the end of September beginning of October but some around the more South of England could be ready now. If they are ready your mission will be to collect them and post them to me. Royal oak Boscobel Shropshire Domesday oak Bristol Darley oak Upton Cross Cornwall Queen Elizabeth...

 Got the first batch of acorns received through the post from the Marton Oak in Cheshire.  The Marton oak is believed to be 1200-1400 years old and has a girth of over 14 metres. It is on the list of the 50 Great British trees.  Thank you to the person who went to the effort of getting these and posting me them.  Your now an official member of the Paramili-Trees SAS branch (Special Acorn Service).  These acorns were found lying around the tree and could have been a windfall drop so may not be viable for germinating. But it's always worth a try and see how they go as I've did the float test on them in a jug of water and some of them sunk which means they are good.  The person who got these is going to go back for me again over the coming months to get some from the next drop.  Appreciate all this that you've did for me, you know who you are. Thank you so much.  A fine edition to my oak collection having this ancient oak trees acorns.  And than...

 This is an Irish Peach apple tree, its from a scion that I grafted onto a new mm106 rootstock 2 years ago and propagated it. I got the cutting material from Florence Court Enniskillen. They have one of the best selection of Irish variety apple trees in Ireland. Florence Court is also home of the original Irish yew tree. Lots of heritage Irish tree stuff going on here at this special place. This pic of the Irish peach apple tree was taken yesterday at our new Lisnabreeny community orchard. The site is very exposed and is roughly 170 metres above sea level. Its interesting to see what variety of apple trees do best in these types of conditions. As you can see though, the Irish Peach seems to thrive here. At this orchard we have around 300 Irish apple trees and about 20/30 different varieties, with many more to add this winter which are propagating right now. So many of the trees are thriving here, we did loose about 20 trees out of over 300 planted, but thats not a bad survival rate...

 Brought a couple of friends on a phantom planters tree tour yesterday around the estate to collect apples. As we were walking around we just seen a lady causally out picking apples from a batch of trees we have at the multi story flats in the middle of the estate. We got talking to her and she said she is picking the apples to make jelly to raise money for the local community hub. She had some of this jelly in her bag and give me a jar. It really made my day seeing the community out picking the apples like this, this is a dream come true for me. All them years ago when I first started phantom planted this is what I had envisioned for the future. The amount of people that have been saying to me also that they have been out picking plums, berries and apples has been unreal. It really does keep me inspired to carry on phantom planting. I've got so many more green spaces eyed up around the estate that I will be phantom planting up over the coming years. And I've learned which vari...

 This is my first phantom planted hawthorn berry. This tree was near dying in a pot many years ago.  I thought I'd give it a chance and try and save it, so I phantom planted it out in the wild.  Today it is thriving and now producing berries.  Hawthorn trees are known as the Fairy trees and the berries of them are edible.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

 Most of the time I have no idea about whats going on in the world. I don't follow football or watch TV, I dont even own a TV. For me we should be paid to have TVs the amount of stuff its selling us.  The majority of the worlds ways has been programmed into us through TVs.  I always say the explosion of coffee shops came from the trends being put out from the likes of the Friends sitcom where everyone hangs out in coffee shops. And I can bet the secret share holders sitting in the background who control the likes of Friends and other programmes own the coffee shops too! This world is run by the most cunning Delboy's and Aurthur Daley's.  For anyone that doesn't know who these people are, they are from old programmes about dodgy wheeler dealers. Maybe I can see more easily how the whole thing operates as thats what I have been most of my life was a dodgy wheeler dealer and growing up with my Delboy day who was a very cunning wheeler dealer all his life too.  The ...
