My oak tree collection!

-

 Stamped up a load of tree tags last night for my oak tree collection. All the names here are from some of the oldest and most iconic oak trees in the UK. 

Many of the acorns were collected by you guys on here last year and posted to me.


I cant thank you all enough for going to the effort of checking all the oak trees I requested and if they had acorns they were collected and posted to me.


I couldn't believe the response I got from this, I must have requested for about 20 oak trees from all over the UK to be checked and every one of them was seen too.

I've tried to thank as many of you personally for helping me on this mission but I get a bit lost with my messages at times. But I hope you read this. Thank You!!


I will be on the hunt for getting more acorns this year, many trees only produce acorns every few years or so. So I will be keeping on checking them every year in the hope I get some one day.


Me and wee betty are heading off next month on a road trip to see a couple of the oak trees I've got acorns from that were posted to me, one being The King Oak in Blenheim Palace and the other The Knighthood Oak in New Forest.


I intend to visit and connect with every mother oak tree that I have the acorns from and thank it. Its a little ritual of mine before I setup my Oak Grove Museum.


All these baby oak trees that I'm growing will be planted together one day to make The Oak Grove Museum, each tree will have a plaque saying who the mother tree was and all the myths and stories surrounding it.

  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...
