The Trouble with Trees

[@saschaharper4204]

"He who plants a tree knowing he will never sit in its shade in his lifetime, has fully understood the meaning of life" Thank you I love your videos!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

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

[@joiedevivre2005]

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

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]

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

Check out "Greening The Desert" with Geoff Lawton. He has shown that with a little thought and care the very worst desert can be brought back to flourishing green life in just a few years. No chemicals and very cheap, just careful planning and nature does the rest. The reason we are not seeing this happen is, in my opinion, because our current economic system requires the condition of "scarecity" in order to thrive. Given half a chance the planet produces abundance! This is not good for the status quo.

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes I have seen the clip and that it can happen, at some time I hope it is done on a larger scale. Take care =-)

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.

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

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.

I have to move a couple too while they are still young. Waiting for leaf fall and will do it then xx Your property sounds wonderful Brenda! xx

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

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