This challenge has been on my mind for some time. Where could I plant a tree, without anyone knowing, and without getting arrested? As some of you may know, I've had my eye on a particular roundabout for some time. I pass it every morning & night, and it looks bare, and in need of a tree. But how do I execute the deed? Do I go all official, wearing a Yellow gilet, and just look confident, assuming people will think I am meant to be there? Or do I turn up early one Sunday morning before sunrise, and risk the police thinking I have an ingenious plan to bury a dead something in the one place no one would ever look?
That particular adventure still awaits.
In the meantime, I took advantage of the wife being away to plant tree(s) anonymously. Given I was the only one who knew the trees were being planted, I take it to count towards the challenge. Although having discussed with the challenger, I know the spirit of this was to grow the tree from seed.
Here we have it. Two trees planted. Fruit bushes to be technically correct. Trees would not be manageable in the small space we have available. The first, a Conference Pear (for eating or cooking, sweet & soft when ripe), the second a cherry Hedelfingen (large, deep Red in colour, sweet and juicy).
The Cherry
