I agree, at that point my O/H cheekily said: "so we have to cut it down & count the rings..."

I would have thought maybe 250-300 at a guess, but yes, interesting programme.

Yep . One or two exaggerated intakes of breath but I learned a bit and enjoyed it .

I realise that the program was aimed at the general masses but was disappointed by the level of dumbing down.

e.g."So trees are just like us, when they are thirsty they take a drink"

and when Judy Dench said her life consisted of trees and champagne I thought to myself "much like my own judy".

 

Although it was nice to see Lynne Boddy on the telly.

Trees and champagne? That's just like my own life. Well, trees and Tennants Super anyway.

Hopefully the drink after the tree work . We Did a Conifer removal for a Ukrainian lady last week, she insisted we have a shot of vodka before starting. We compromised at a brew and some toast.
