Tree Planting Season, Year 10

Well, there's at least another month left of tree planting season for year ten. As you can see, the trees are doing very well.

This area of woods is called 'Upper Bee woods'. It is one of the upper most bits, connected to the bulk of what is planted so far.

It is possible that it is (will be) the highest altitude deciduous woods in the UK.

All the trees are sourced from local wild trees, growing up to 250 metres above sea level. Upper Bee woods is about 400 metres up and it is fairly remote. Up here moss and ferns grow so thickly on the trunks and branches of the trees that primroses can flourish like tropical Orchids in the treetops (especially with a little help).

Most of the trees in this picture were planted in year 6, The Iris (bottom right) were planted in year 4.

My planting year starts in October and almost corresponds to the year. Year 10 started in October 2010.
