I intend to plant them, as last year's crop died off for some reason. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are then offered out to anyone who wants them, so that they can plant them where they chose. In the past 17 years, at least 1200 trees have been handed out around the UK. The furthest being the Isle of Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
