    We are on the london boulder clay:lol:The soil is also mostly clay one spit of a shovel and you have clay but this is what oak trees like and beech dont but i have got a few beech. Eight years ago the agent here bought 100 10 foot tall oak trees from devon they were grown on sandy soil they all died. Since then i have been growing my own and transplanting saplings and they have all survived the right tree in the right soil:thumbup1:
