Growing trees

[IanW]

Any one on here into growing trees?

 

I have a couple different types of redwood, firs, cedars and pine to try and grow from seed.

 

We all like to cut them down but who's interested in growing them, seed or propagation ?

I've just potted up a few oak seedlings taken from below a big and ancient oak. Hopefully they will give pleasure to someone in 500 years. Nothing like good provenance when it comes to trees:thumbup1:

Would like to bring on some ash seedlings as we cant buy them then plant out on our hedges. Hope this thread will give some good pointers.

Like your little seedling IanW.

I like stealth planting unusual species. Douglas being one, wild service too. Capturing oak was another past time on the quad with a handful of guards and stakes. See some natural regen and get a tube around them to stop the muntjacs damage.

I am trying to propagate some elms (from cuttings) which seem to be disease resistant. If they take, I will be planting out a line of them down the side of our new field. It's a chance, but I think it's worth the risk. Could be the only decent line of elms in the UK in the future

Love it!

 

It's nothing short of amazing to think what that tiny redwood seedling could become.

Not tried any from seed but I usually rescue any seedling trees I find on jobs that are in the way and transplant them elsewhere
