Hey Pauly and Mick.
You both have some land / decent garden. Would you like an oak sapling? I have one or two growing nicely that I grew from acorns last year.
Offer goes out to all Boingerati.

I grew 3 from acorns maybe 8 - 9 years ago now. When they where about 3 years old, I planted them (with permission) at the North York Moors Visitors Centre at Danby. I visited them for the first time in a few years, last year. Wow, they've come on a treat.
I was a Volunteer with the NYMNP that's why I got permission

Nice one, Dave.
So glad you found somewhere nice and accommodating to plant them and it must be so nice to be able to visit from time to time to see their progress.
At the moment, keeping them here isn't an issue. I re-planted them into bigger pots at the weekend and they're doing really well. But, eventually, it would be lovely to be able to let them go to a good new home. If it's somewhere where I might be able to visit occasionally, that would be a bonus, as it is for yourself.
The tree I got the acorns from looks to be able to give loads more later this year and I'll be planting lots of those, too.

I’ve got a cooking apple tree and a couple of cider apple trees but sadly, I don’t use them, a lot go to waste. However, I do have a neighbour who comes and takes a couple of barrow loads for cider making so not all wasted. The pear tree is very old and does produce fruit but it’s very small. They are great for attracting wild birds though which is a nice bonus. Low hanging fruit that sits in front of my back wall make good targets against a nice backstop too
Mmm, never thought about using the yew tree for bow making !

Nice one also re giving the baby oaks a miss and letting someone else have the opportunity, Pauly. They're doing really wel in their new, fresh, larger pots. A couple of them are going really mental!
Be nice if you got some more takers on the apples so that they don't go to waste, especially in these austere and uncertain times. Great for pulling those little dick birds in, though.
Be great and very interesting to learn about making bows from yew, from selecting the branch, seasoning, preparation etc.......
