There's two. The oozing one kills the tree eventually. The one where the leaves go brown and fall off early doesn't I'm led to believe. That's Horse Chestnut not Oak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of the ones you sent me last year have started to germinate, and hopefully, will continue to do so.

There are some tree's local to me that were planted in his memory and it's good to see them. Since I started growing trees (my son and I used to do this together) I have estimated that I have sent out 1400+ since 2004, and I hope to continue this for as long as I possibly can.

bottletopbill Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hope every one who gets a tree from you as the pleasure we do from a tree. These trees will see us out but a least we played a part hope other members take part and send you some. Seeds being sent from one part of the country then posted around to various parts of the country . And because you cared and done something to make it better. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 All sapling now gone/on their way to new homes. Hopefully, I'll have a few more later in the year, together with a few Oaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
