steve_b_wales Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's early days I know, but if anyone could spare me any of the above, I would apprecaite it and would be happy to cover the postage etc. As many know on this website, I have been growing various trees for the past 19 years and to date, I have estimated that I have 'sent out' more than 1400 to various parts of the UK, the furthest being the Isle of Lewis. I originally started to grow trees with my late son, who past away almost 20 years ago at the age of 14. I have kept this going and hope to do so for as long as I can. So far this year, I have sent out 38 Horse Chestnut saplings and 16 Oak. I have some Hazelnut saplings growing at the moment but they are only a few inches high and I plan to keep them until they grow a bit more and then send them out next year. Thank You.

Sawyet Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 We have a woodland in N.Wales & bring any saplings that have reached 18” on by planting then in a “nursery area” & letting them get to a size & then re-plant in the woods. Come August/Sept I can let you have as many acorns/hazelnuts as you want. Give me a prod nearer the time & I will gladly send some off to you.

Acerforestry Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hi Steve, will certainly be able to supply acorns though some of the nuts won't be quite so plentiful, sweet chestnut would be no problem (I'm a coppicer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 From the number of Hazel saplings I have recently pulled up. "planted by squirrels from my contorted Hazel" I should this year have a good stock of nuts which you will be welcome to. Give me a buzz at the time please.

steve_b_wales Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 A very big THANK YOU to all who replied and have offered to send me som, I appreciate it very much. I will contact you all later on this year with my address details etc. As always, I'm more than happy to cover postage costs, and I've never charged for the saplings I give out, but only ask for postage to be covered.
