I planted some conkers in pots at home about 3 years ago, now have 4 conker trees about 2 feet high! Dont know what Im going to do with them, I dont have a garden.
Anyone want a baby conker tree?

We planted some acorns in pots about 15 years ago.
We still have one with us, even though we've moved a few times since then.
One day, when we are old, we will plant it somewhere out in the wild.

I caught part of a lovely documentary a while back featuring a really old bloke in an old folks home in the western isles, it turns out he owns the island and bought it sight-unseen in his wayward youth on the strength of an advert in the paper and has lived there ever since. He was on first name terms with most of the worlds monarchs and other greats and goods and was talking about his various international gliteratti adventures.

He was asked will all the privilege and wealth and adventure whether he had any regrets now that he was old and he said "I wish I'd planted trees when I was young"

Yep…we'd be in a bit of a mess without our trees!

Hmm still a few left so putting some in pots is a good idea, I'll pot some up now and the I can see how quickly they grow. Can then search out some really good spots to put them once they get older 🙂
