Re: More collecting
hi,
there will be sheep and cattle running all over Somerset the amount of gaps in the hedges !
only kidding, lots to play with there - . (Though looking back now the best thing I did for the trees I kept was putting about 50 back in woods and hedges so I had time to dedicate to a few trees properly. (15 good acers were hidden in gloucestershire in a forest of wellingtonias, overlooking a lovely bend in the River Wye )).
have fun with them though - but concentrate on the better beech - its the only one you need
regards Marcus

Re: More collecting
Thanks Marcus, Only a few small holes left behind.
Not to worry though only the best will be kept. For now I will just keep them healthy and fed. Maybe go for sale or trade in a few years but untill then I will enjoy taking the through the initial stages. I think the first of these could be something quite special.
Thanks Sam

Re: More collecting
Collecting trees is one of my favourite hobbies and at this time of year I go at it like a mad man. Soon I will go back to search for and getting permission to dig for next year.

Re: More collecting
So generally do you just look on friends properties? How would you even approach that question? "Hey do you mind if I dig up your trees for my collection?"

Re: More collecting
Generally it's pretty easy to get permission. Just yesterday I noticed the old lady opposite my house having some large shrubs cut down in her garden and although I miss the opportunity to get them I did ask if they were thinking about removing some very large garden junipers she had and was told it is OK to have them next spring. I also live and have my workshop and nursery right out in the country and know a lot of the farmers and landowners who tend to just think Im a bit mad but are happy for me to dig on their land.

Thanks Dario, I will be cutting it back next year. When cutting Beech back hard, you must leave at least one bud to keep the branch alive.
Thanks Sam
