It's Tree O'Clock - plant a tree this weekend

As part of national tree week, Tree O'Clock is a world record attempt to plant the most trees in one hour. Saturday, 5th December, 11am - 12 noon.

(why it isn't at three o'clock is beyond me, but hey ho, the tree huggers amongst you will like this ;D)

I could do this - I will buy another fruit tree from Morrison's tomorrow and plant it on Saturday morning
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
