    ...our local council was giving away free trees yesterday as many councils do I believe as part of a nationewide scheme to get more trees planted in our communties :thumb:; when I was in Cheshire you could have a maximum of 3 trees, here in Derbyshire you can have 5 - how kind :D

    I got a silver birch, wild cherry, rowan, spindle and a field maple; all nice sized seedlings (18-24"), they will planted down the bottom corner of back garden to hopefully give us a bit more privacy from the neighbouring public footpath (even though we have a 6ft fence) once they have grown.
