Seeds to Trees #1 Collecting and Planting
-
We were possibly a little late in our seed collection - the rowan berries were very sparse, but the holly had only recently turned red so were probably not ready to plant. The sweet chestnuts were hard to find - possibly more due to being eaten by squirrels and possibly badger. The only easy one were the acorns - absolutely everywhere and already starting to germinate. We are pot planting and will see how many make it to seedling stage. The challenge will be finding places to plant them in a year or two time.
