Nonsense on stilts.

No chance I don’t even get to plant much and I’ve put 1000s in the ground all over the country.

Wish I was running out of oak.

It's a bit of a strange story, starting off talking about oak grown well for timber and then talking about softwood and any old trees.

 

I don't think many would argue there's far less oak being grown well for timber regardless of how much is planted. Not just because hardly anyone is managing them for timber but because of the damage done by deer, squirrels etc - something missing in the Guardian story.
