The magic of trees!

-

This is a story I done a while back about my 85 year old mate and how I met him one day about 7 years ago at the garage struggling to put air in his tyres, I offered to help him and me being me I couldn't shut up about the Buddha, yoga, trees and how it changed my life! 

He thought I had told him that I was into judo, so he got home and decided to try and find me to thank me for what I done that day by contacting some judo clubs in Belfast looking for a tree planting Buddhist, he had no luck!

Around about that time I had a tree of mine cut down and the stump discarded over a fence and the rest shredded, I was devastated at this and went to the papers with this story!

Billy was sitting reading the paper one day and there was me in the paper holding my decapitated tree stump. He contacted the paper to get my details and we have become best friends ever since!

The tree stump I kept for a couple of years and miraculously it came back to life and is now in his  garden growing like a champion!

There is something we can all learn from this tree, nothing is ever over, we are never past it, no matter how far gone you think you are we can always heal and repair our body, mind and soul. 

There is complete magic in this tree for me, when it was cut down I was at a point in my life where I was battling with many demons, many addictions and mental problems etc! 

I kept the tree for years, showed it love and in return I believe it helped heal me! 

We repaired and grew strong together, the magic of mother nature!

And by the looks of the flowers we could be in with a chance of some apples this year! 




No tree I've ever phantom planted was a waste of time or money, look what the end outcome of this tree was!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
