    FREE baby trees from Velvet Toilet Rolls site

    Choose between a Rowan, Scots Pine or Silver Birch.

    Your tree will be a sapling about 20cm in length and posted to you in a protective container.

    We will be sending out baby trees during the month of September to coincide with ‘tree planting season’ providing the optimum conditions to plant.

    VELVET Baby MD loves trees and soft toilet tissue

    I would only be able to put a small tree in a container so I don't think I will bother as I assume these are going to grow into pretty big trees!

    Hope this offer will be ok for other members.

    Yep, don't they get rather enormous! Sounds like a recipes for unsuspecting people to plant little baby trees and end up with monsters.

      Hmm, hopefully of use to anyone with a large estate but you have to wonder if that''s a rather ill judged (or cynical!) offer
      I was feeling part of the scenery
      I walked right out of the machinery

        With a bit of luck if you make a good job of growing one your grand kids will be able to sell it back to them a thousand rolls in each one you know....jacob

          'Scuse my possible ignorance - but wouldn't a pot grown Scots Pine double as a Xmas Tree until it outgrew is surroundings - when perhaps it could be donated to a local group who look after the environment for planting in a bigger space?

          The other ones may well stunt in a pot/container and only produce up to a certain size if kept well-pruned. Bit bigger than bonsai but not to full size due to containment.

          Just a thought as I am by no means an expert - on this or any other kind of gardening subject - just learning all the time!

            Rowan and Silver Birch are fine for normal gardens -Scots Pine not so much unless you have an acre or so.
            I've just ordered a Rowan for my garden and will be getting some of my customers to do the same.

                    There is a silver birch opposite us taller than our house, definitely wouldn't fit in our garden - not if we wanted anything else to grow lol.

                          As well as growing very tall, the silver birch also need a lot of water and will make the area arround the tree very dry.

                            In my 4mtr x 6mtr front garden I have 2 oaks, a red maple, a hawthorn and a cherry plus 14mtrs of deciduous native hedging. Trim the canopy once a year and roots wont be invasive. In my back garden Ive had a scots pine in a 20" tub for 12 years its only 4ft high but looks nice and old. Im ordering more, thanks for link.
                            Save Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock. Coma and Painted Lady butterflies. Dont cut stinging nettles in summer.
                            Only cut nettles grown in the shade.
