Very pleased with the progress of our experimental propagation. There is a growing collection of young trees and shrubs in the garden, grown from material collected in the wood last year - seeds, cuttings and transplants - including oak, hazel, willow, and broom . There is also a thriving walnut and a mulberry started earlier which will need a lot of space. We'll find a good open place for these in one of the glades.
The deer problem means it's not safe to leave them growing unprotected, so we hope to give them a better chance of survival by growing them on at home and then re-planting them back in the wood when they are sturdier, with deer protection . Many beech are coming up in the wood which we must protect as soon as possible with tubes or larger guards, before they are eaten .
