The Trouble with Trees

Trees are like children - they grow!!! I have planted hundreds of trees in my garden and never imagined they would grow so well; so tall, so quickly!! Such a pleasure to see them grow and such a sense of fulfilment.

Thanks Sascha - lovely quotation. xx

[@katharinazwing4700]

That IS exactly the meaning of planting trees! You can greet the coming generations and Provide oxygen - for all beings. Trees are our only Hope! You can embrace the Planet! Kath.

My Grandfather planted at least one Walnut tree wherever he lived. He was a farmer. When he retired in the 1950's, he bought a small, more manageable farm/home . The tree still stands today, a beautiful majestic English Walnut Tree. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm hoping all the others are still standing as well. I think they call it "Paying it Forward" these days. He absolutely did that. He was a good man my grandfather. 🙏❤️ Have a wonderful day! USA 🇺🇲

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I hope they are too. What a clever man - and Walnuts can take a long time to grow! What a great idea - you could spread it around. xx Have a great week Miss Prissy xx

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

You got great soil, you need to be careful about the foundation and plumbing situation about the trees near the house due to the roots growing. I recall my dad and neighbors talking about this problem.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It's ok, thanks for the warning but I don't have any trees that close. xx

It’s so beautiful to see your lush baby forest against the barren land. It’s so inspirational.

A mixture of plants will result in soil microbiology to take off - soil scientists say 9+ plants interacting in close proximity. Monoculture trees suffer from the absence of thriving soil. Amazing garden. It is so rare to see be in the presence of a healthy mixed native species space.

"The Secret Garden" I bet the pixies, wood nymphs, et. love you. When I was little playing in a tiny grove next to the school playground, I used to make little shacks for brownies from twiggs & acorn caps. Course I didn't know thing one about how big brownies were or if they would fit. Maybe the littles used them instead. Who knows?

[@Ladythyme]

YES the trouble with trees!!! …. I love my trees…don’t get me wrong…but the trees on my property and around it, have grown so much that they shadow almost my whole yard and I’m unable to grow any vegetables or plants which require a lot of sun … our property isn’t that large and I’m not selfish enough to remove them …they are over the house now so it is not like I can just even trim them. I am resigned to just not grow sun loving plants. 😔

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Maybe you could pollard them? I am sure your garden is very beautiful even so. xx

[@angelabyrne154]

It’s wonderful to know that no matter how much the land has been denuded as you say, that with conscious effort the trees will re-establish. I have trees around my perimeter in the garden (my neighbour hates them), they are due to be pollarded this year as they grow very tall (SE Queensland). I love them.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So glad they are growing well for you. What is wrong with your neighbour?? Take no notice xx

Good for you Gerda - Happy New Year!

[@sharonammirati2042]

i am convinced that the trees are thriving so well because they are stimulated by the attention and love they receive every day, even to the pawprints wandering amongst them from happy dog energy. Beautiful video, looking just beyond your borders I can glimpse the barren fields. Have you done tours for local residents to inspire more plantings? Or is there resistance? I see you are on trend with the resurgence of wide leg jeans! Lovely.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I hope so. No I haven't done any tours, no one has expressed interest. There are other people around, friends of mine, who grow trees too. xx

[@222dyan]

Amazing All the beautiful trees you have planted. They all look like shrubs or big bushes, the way they are growing. I'm guessing that is because it's so open and windy there? I live in a forest in the mountains and the trees grow so tall with big straight single trunks. I love them and feel such a deep connection with them too. It's so soothing and comforting to live amongst them. Was there a time when there were forests there in Ireland? They say the same about Iceland. My ancestors are from the Nordic countries. Thanks for sharing your beautiful forest.

I have a lovely maple tree in my front yard that my mother planted with my then toddler son's "help" 20 years ago. The tree is now huge & shades much of my tiny front yard. I love it. It is frequented by several varieties of birds (the feeders I have in it help) including a pair of mourning doves, many squirrels who have nested in it for several years & even the little green Carolina anole lizards that inhabit the boxwoods in my yard enjoy climbing it. I love watching it change with the seasons - it has become my tree friend. My mother has since passed, but the tree is a little part of her that is with me always.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

How wonderful! Such connections the trees help us with, three generations now connected to that tree, which will be holding the memories xx

The trees you planted love you, and they seem determined to deal with tough conditions because they're cherished. If you asked them they might agree to some pruning up so that you can get around and through, visit, and spend time with them more easily. And you all are a part of them, aren't you, because of the way you feed them with your manure as well as share your breath. Wishing you all a lovely Autumn Equinox.

It's amazing the trees are doing so well and I think the intention that went into planting and subsequent care are responsible. I live in Utah. U$ never excess water and the drought is severe. We decided to make our yard as shady as possible as the best way to conserve water.

We have a thicket of white pine, a dozen or so. They are over 30 years old and probably 50 feet tall (away from the house, thank goodness). Local agri-person said their typical life span around here (central Kentucky) is 10 years, but I think they like being close and I sit among them often, appreciating them. They are surrounded by even bigger guardian-type trees: hickory, sycamore, oak, to name a few. This is on one acre, in the middle of our little town. I grew up in a national forest, so I must have trees around to feel at home. Your property appreciates your thought and care, certainly. Have a wonderful week! Fall time is very evident today, my favorite time.

[@tassiegirl1991]

Im no expert but You planted large tree species, maybe too close together. The soil must be good even if hard to find a place to dig a hole. I think you might be in for a huge problem in the future. Each time you trim they will i think grow wider and the roots compete. You look like your fighting in a jungle there and have me laughing, sorry. I bet if you planted a feature tree to grow tall it wouldnt . Always a learning game Terry, but it all depends what you want in the end, i made a smaller sized mistake in my previous garden but those trees lilypillys were hedgeable and made a great screen on the border with a problem neighbour. They surprised me by 6 years nearly as tall as her house. My birches all grew tall fast beautiful as spaced adequately giving great dappled light and able to underplant. I prefer to be able to have dappled shade and lots of space to sit under rather than dense forest. Keep enjoying it but light is important too. Cheers Terry

Wonderful video. Trees certainly do grow and grow where they like. I have not had to plant anything but fruit trees on my land as there are volunteer white pines, alders, trembling aspen and even a willow, which I am amazed is thriving on my relatively dry land. I have three pines which have grown huge in a short time, and while I hate the idea of cutting one down, it is far too crowded with a maple in the mix as well. I may have my first real Yule tree in years. I will be keeping an eye on the smaller ones coming to see if they need a better spot while they are easier to move.

Thank you. Trees grow where they’re loved and respected. When we moved to our 230 year old house in a 2000 acre wildlife sanctuary, it was just a pine forest with a few decrepit leafy trees. We planted zelkova, Tilia, different oaks, Tulip, Elm, different evergreens, birches, weeping beeches, many more. They weren’t mor than 10 of 15 feet tall. Most are now 30- 50 feet tall.

That's wonderful - your home sounds spectacular! xxx

[@katherineb6102]

So very lovely, the idea of exhaling for the trees benefit.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Isn't it a lovely idea - mutual reciprocity. xx

So wonderful. I would love to see your property from above.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Could try some shots from the upstairs! xx

🤢Not nausea, simply green with envy.We are lucky and have a garden full of mature trees .......but I was determined to have a Rowan,they really don't like the Burgundian weather, the summers are too hot and dry .Your casual remark and in that patch there are several Rowans and I was quietly groaning 🙂 Peter says it was not so quietly,woops !

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I would love to have mature trees as well - do you want some Rowan seeds?

[@marydunn3867]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you for the kind offer ,but I do have a Rowan tree it's about 5 years old,but even with copious watering through the summer it never holds it's leaves or berries much past September ,though it has grown a bit in the time we've had it 😢

There's something good underneath the ground.

Makes me think of the old saying"be careful what you pray for..." , amazing growth with that salt wind, no doubt the mother divine is about your place. For the tree by the window, you can limb it up- meaning trim all branches but the top crown, as it grows you'll have only the trunk to look past.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for the tip - I will have to do that in another couple of years I suspect. x

[@lulucly]

Beautiful! Loved the tour around!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it. xx

[@kestrelfeather]

Lovely! I loved seeing your wonderful trees, yard and garden. How fantastic it all is! Good for you to be planting trees the way you have. I've been planting various species of trees around my yard and garden for the past twenty some years too, often thinking about what they might look like, how they will grow over the next twenty years, on and on. I may well not be here in another twenty years but I have wondered, like yourself, what these trees, planted by my own hand, how they will appear to the young kids that live across the road in a few decades. When I moved to this cabin there were a couple of young fir trees growing twenty feet from this cabin. Those fir trees were three feet tall, thirty-one years ago. Now those two majestic and towering fir trees are seventy feet tall. Where would the planet be without vibrant healthy forests and breathing living trees. Likely we would look into the looking glass to see Mars's twin.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Just saw this comment and yes! I agree with you. The idea of planting something as noble as a tree and witnessing it growing and wondering about the future is incredibly fulfilling and so rewarding.

[@leenewsom7517]

It is likely that all the trees will slow down after their juvenile growth phase (I am a wood anatomist), and then grow less vigorously. They may even reach a point of almost stasis, very slow growth, given the poor soils -- and so everything work itself out ! 😁

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for the information Lee, that is interesting! No need to worry then😀

[@leenewsom7517]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks are to you for your wonderful videos! Trees are so amazing. Like us, they even have a senescent phase towards the end of their lifespan, when they may or may not produce growth rings in the wood, or may make partial rings, produce fewer or no fruit/acorns, etc., as they gracefully move along in time.

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Ash And Elder love all the trees Mentioned what a spiritual Grove trimming?🙏 awesomeness have a good week 😀

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You too - thanks! xx

[@brianquinn5060]

The spirits of nature, love every step you take.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I think they are definitely there, helping things along xx

[@nurnu349]

I absolutely agree... Spirits needed places to dwell, and they love your soil and your soul!😃😂 Amazing. You are lucky ! I never ever had a garden. I have a balcony so hot that all plants die, unless I cover them. It's a rental so I can't change things. I don't think I will ever own a place with a garden. It's not easy in Spain. You can't build on your own terrain, if it is not authorized, and it never is unless it is deemed urban area or a building was built there and the ruins remain. Even campers, roulottes, and Minihouses and the like are forbidden! It sucks: it is not to protect the environment, it is so that they can charge a lot for houses as building areas are scarce. That's why we live in tall apartment buildings in Spain. Thanks for the great videos🙏!☺️ I'm sure Spirits will show you a way to arrange pathways. And yes, trees can be a risk to plumbing and foundations.

[@sarahpost3913]

That's amazing !Thank you for showing us what is possible , even in connemara by the sea . If they get too much you can always coppice some ( willow , alder especially ) for firewood etc .

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes, I have done that with Willow and Alder. In Spring time I sometimes take Birch cuttings for the house. xx
