I remember "Plant a tree in 73" Then it went "Plant some more in 74" I and the boys helped Mrs Rowles Nicholson cover a hillside at Horkstow Hundreds we planted.She had a lot of helpers it went on for a good while until they exhausted the supply both years Next time I go to see Jackie I shall make a detour and see what they look like.Horkstow is one of those places that is on the way to nowhere You are going to Horkstow or you don't go its on the Low Road to South Ferriby from Brigg. :D ;D :farmer:
-
Thank you I have ordered 2 silver birches ;D
-
Mine has just come in todays post.
-
No sign of mine yet
-
ooh I can't wait!
-
Not got mine yet, but got an email to say it would arrive soon. What kind of trees has everybody got?
-
d'y'know, Ive forgotten what type of tree I asked for!
I had an email too... cant wait for the tree :)
-
Just to warn you its more of a stick than a tree!

Never mind - it'll grow! A little bit of TLC works wonders with sticks. I know - I have hundreds of willows that were just sticks a few months ago! lol
-
Got mine today woo hoo!
Diane opened the tube as we didn't know what it was and out popped the top of a silver birch. Just like the pretend snakes used to do. It was perfect.
Planted not thirty minutes ago!

At last,,,, my Sots Pine finally arrived and has been planted in a choice spot in my lower field close to a young Beech, it's very small, but I'm sure that it'll thrive and grow well.
Thanks for the tip Linz! I might try and grow some conker trees from nuts for a bit of fun.
-
Mine arrived but its so dry its dead :(
-
hmmm, had e-mail ages ago but still no tree.... hope it's not festering somewhere with Royal Mail!
Jackie, have you scraped away any of the bark? to see if there is any sign of life & green?
dormant trees often look dead, even after a good soak...
-
It is really dead Little Blue :(
-
:( complain....
-
I haven't got mine yet either, but I've had an email - ages ago. Bet Royal Mail have planted mine somewhere! ;D ;D

I too had an e mail from them weeks and weeks ago saying it was on its way and still no sign of it! Maybe they will turn up...eventually.
-
I want a tree but it's closed now :(
-
My tree just turned up! :)
Either that or someone's sent me a twig.
now - where was I goin to put it..
mab
-
my twig has also just turned up :) :chook: :goat:
-
And mine - in a hessian bag and very dry - but it is now in a huge pot so hopefully it will survive. Pity I can't remember what I asked for as you can't tell from a leafless twig ;D

Same here! :)
-
My dead twig has arrived too
-
I received mine on Friday, wondered what on earth it could be as I had forgotten all about it. I asked for a Rowan tree, looks quite healthy although very dry. Have potted it up and will now wait and see. ;)

I have a feeling mine is a rowan but by no stretch of the imagination could I say it is healthy - how can you tell that a twig with no leaves is healthy? ::)
-
My twig has arrived too. After much debate, I have worked out it is a rowan. My husband kindly ::) suggested adding it to the kindling pile, which means I will make it grow into a tree even if it kills me!!!!!
-
:) mine arrived about the 20th september and it got green bits on it and it sitting in a pot on my window sill as i didn't have anytime to put it outside
-
I should think mine is dead. It didn't have time to establish it's root system before the snow and ice came. :'(
