I'll tell you how. Because lots of people in Scotland voted for them. Because SNP needed them. Your cheap opinions on Harvie are of Sun-reader quality, and irrelevant. At least he believes in something and is willing to make a stand for the wellbeing of future generations, a refreshing contrast to the me,me, now attitude of most. Cast your vote, spare us the crap. I think you've already made up your mind.

My guess would eb that all teh buds on one side were rubbed off during transpartation or planting.

I will force myself to go down the consonant route then. I think T,D ,S and R are always contenders. DARTS! LUNCH. Footnote, and spoiler alert, tried it today, disaster. Reverted to vowels on 3rd guess (OGIVE), got it 4th guess.

Yes but I can't be bothereed with not having the vowels. Once I have them I try to be clever.

Well if first guess of daisy gives me ****D i might guess OUTER rather than ROUTE, because lots of words end with ED. I can't be bothered getting too clever about it until I have all the vowels and Y out.

I used to play this until a couple of months ago I go it it first guess. "DAISY". Kind of taken the excitement out of it for me. Second word was usually "ROUTE" or "OUTER" depending on clues.

I got my start by writing a nice letter to every consultant within 30 miles of me. Got 3 responses, one of them became a regular client, he became my main sponsor for ICF chartership. I am snowed under and have 2 regular subbies. You have to make it easy for them to get in touch with you (business card, mobile no. and email) at short notice when they're short-handed. Then put in a whinge-free shift with good clean data in the most useful format.

I like the old favourite (although not fussed about the God bit). “I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.” ― Joyce Kilmer, Trees & Other Poems But I also like the Ogden Nash parody that seems more pertinent to modern life "I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Indeed, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.

might be what's known as a sphaeroblast.

A few have just started turning up in my garden and now regulars at the feeder.

best ignore him, we're all just waiting till he runs out of smartass comments and buggers off.

I think I hit it dead on target. The OP specified various aspirations for the statement tree. Monkey puzzle would have been a very poor choice on several of those. "F#*k it ... Wack in a monkey puzzle 😭" was not even vaguely on point. Not helped by the unnecessary vulgarity. I hope the OP realises that you are not representative of the industry.

not native, no autumn show, does badly on level poorly drained sites.

not native

I think your problem there is that the TO is stubborn and jobsworthy and maybe not too clued up on how trees actually work. I'm trying not to use a more succinct word for him. That sort of attitude just breeds resentment and encourages pre-emptive felling. I personally think that offsetting is somethimed justifiable but I like to show that there is at least 2x as much rooting available in the offset side. Offsetting was stopped because people were taking the piss. Quite right.
