The Phantom Planter

 This phantom planted pear tree is doing really well at our Belvoir Memorial Orchard.  Planted around 4 years ago its one of the healthiest pear trees lve planted. Many pear varieties don't do well here but this one is shining!  Fruit trees have to be the best trees to plant. Beautiful flowers in spring and edible fruits come late summer and autumn. Great for the birds and the bees and great for us too.  We all should be given the option to pick fresh fruit from our land for at least 6 months of the year. From early spring berry varieties right up to medlars in December. Also there are so many apple varieties that can store until January.  Get phantom planting fruit trees guys.  Better off having it and not needing it than needing it and not having it.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter and wee betty

 Dont forget guys my website prices include delivery anywhere on the Emerald Isle. If in Northern Ireland chances are it will be me and Wee Betty delivering. For over the border we use a courier service thats normally next day delivery in the Dublin area.  This mattress I'm on is The HoneyB Balmoral. One of my best sellers for many years now. Gel infused 13" pocket sprung pillowtop that doesn't cost a fortune. Pic taken a couple of years ago when I was just back from holidays.  For the past 12 years now I have always prided myself on selling high end luxury at very affordable prices. So many furniture shops I've had over the years and so many rubbish brands I've sold thats just been a headache for me in the long run.  I dont want people coming back to me with problems.  I want them coming back with more orders.  And thats what I get with my mattress selection these days is people coming back 6/7 years later ordering the same mattress!  I just want an e...

 Yesterday I took a group of people around the estate picking apples and to show them many of our other phantom planted trees we have. With the hot summer we had so many of the apple trees are ripening early. Many people went away with bags of apples and we were non stop eating apples the whole day straight of the trees.  Then I get a nice message from a lady who seen me out tending to her apple tree that we phantom planted a few years ago in memory of her dad saying thank you for the apple tree, the love, connection and memories your apple tree has given us will go on for generations.  I have always said her apple tree is one of the best in the estate. Its the one in the pic with the wooden surround and me bent over. I notice that the trees that get shown the most love and attention grow better than others.  The more light you shine, the more shadows you cast.  From the massacre of one of our biggest community orchards I've had a lot more critics on my page. I ...

 So guys, I'm 99% sure that no Trust, Conservation group or land owner cut down our orchard. I had a guy from the forest service out to inspect the site and he said it was all done amateur with hand saw and not a professional.   The more I look at it myself you can see what the person/persons has done and why they put everything in the surrounding woods. They've took their time just cutting one tree at a time and disposing of them separately so they would not be seen with a whole pile of trees in case anyone came by.  This has all really knocked me for six to be honest. The thought of someone having this level of revenge and anger towards has been a bit worrying. I'm worried for the rest of the trees.  I will get over it though and with every negative comes an equal or greater positive. This massacre has generated so much publicity and donations that I am going full steam ahead now in the setting up of The Phantom Planters Trust. People all over the country has ...

 Couple of photos from over the years. Ballybeen estate East Belfast with this young girl superstar and Belvoir estate South Belfast. This apple tree never ceases to produce in abundance.  For over 10 years now I've been phantom planting fruit trees around housing estates. Providing free food for the community and connecting people to nature. The majority of the people love this and want to see more of it.  Over 200 apple trees I've had cut down just recently. As most of you know I've been building a free food map. Near 700 trees I had mapped here which I was building into a free food map so everyone can get free fruit. The map has been a rod for my own back. The authorities have used this map to track my trees and cut many of them down.  I will not be updating this map anymore guys unless on land thats not council owned.  It won't be stopping me phantom planting on council land. I just won't be publishing the locations.  Keep an eye out for more environmen...
