Well this is about right.

You can't say anything these days without some tw@t complaining.

 

I just don't give a fu CK anymore and don't bother to vote. It's not going to make any difference and I'll just keep on offending those who can't take a joke... Bollix it is ...

Redwoods on the tellybox this morning.

There's a few around here but didn't realise we had more than California.

I seem to remember Ken Livingstone planting one in his garden in London and sticking a tpo on it to miff his neighbours 😂😂😬

Yeah I saw that too. Surprising stat that there's considerably more Redwoods here than in CA. They love our damp climate it seems, for now anyway.

 

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

A survey of giant redwoods growing in the UK reveals the trees are doing well - and growing fast.

 

I've been up a couple of small ones over the years.

About 30m or so but I'd be keen to go up a big one. Bloody bark is brutal but it was coming out so just mullered it.

Be interesting to see how they do but with the amount of rain we've had so long as they hold on they should grow well..

If we get too much wind and the ground is saturated I would expect them to go over ...

Nah, you're alright thanks. I don't think your poor abused keyboard could take it. It must be on its last legs already.

The issue is more that our increasingly hot, dry summers and resulting draughts might kill them off I think.

Yeah possibly.

It's either on or off here now.

Weather they can retain enough water for the burn season we will have to wait and see.

The chestnut trees around here certainly suffered last year.

Long ago I was told wind would prevent UK growing tall trees but I haven't seen an open grown wellingtonia blown down. I have seen lots with their tops taken out by lightning.

That’s unlike you 42 you were the queen of questions during the farce, demanding answers and explanations was most definitely your modus operandi. Regard’s my keyboard were you not commenting on the fact I’ve been busy elsewhere yesterday 🤷‍♂️make your mind up 42.
