If you haven't got room in the garden, you could always sponsor a tree through the Woodland Trust.
Sadly we've just taken down three apple trees and a cherry tree, mainly to appease a neighbour.

The Scottish government planted 22 MILLION trees last year and had plans to plant more this year ...a pandemic got in the way .

I'm watching too and I'm particularly impressed with the miniature trees in pots! I already have a potted conifer and quite a few spare pots so I think more potted tree are on the gardening schedule!

Yes, we're watching it and I thought "Oh yes, let's plant a tree", but in order to do so in our garden I would have to dig up an existing tree, so probably best not to bother...

I see that Country File has been advocating that people plant trees.
That's all well and good, as long as the tree that you plant is suitable for the area that it will grow in.

There has been a thread on here recently about neighbours and trees.
They can be wonderful, but they can also be a liability.
So, please think before you plant an oak tree.
