Saw this in Southwark Life - rent a tree and then it is collected and aken away to carry on growing after Christmas.

They are, however, already out of stock. But you can join waiting list, or mailing list for 2021 advance notice.

Yes, replantable trees, either to buy or hire seem to make great sense in all manner of ways. If you were in raptures when you heard nature and were able to enjoy it more in the spring during the first wave and the lockdown then think of reducing your consumption over Xmas - it's not that hard. Just because it has been tough it doesn't mean we should splash out and waste food and buy stuff we don't need.

Should note if you're going for the real tree in pot option, its super important to keep a vigilant eye on the soil and not letting it dry out. Other than that there very easy to look after and to plant out in the garden after :)

This is a brilliant idea!

    • Thanks @Sue I had no idea what they delivered. Personally I just dont get why anyone living in London would bother with something like this, We can all pop down the road and buy bread, pastries etc and know what we're getting.. Just seems a bit of a yuppie fad and waste of money. But thats just my opinion!
    • How to you grow these? I've scattered meadow flower seeds many a time, but thistles don't take and I doubt if alder and birch is common round here.  Teasels pop up now and then, but even if they are self seeding usually don't see them the next year.  It was nice seeing the gold finches feeding off these when I do have them.  I do let the dandelions grow but not sure I've seen finches feeding off them.  I understand they are a great source of nectar for bees, butterflies and the like. On a related subject my lawns have changed greatly over the last couple of decades, warmer wetter winters, springs, earlier springs, droughts in the summer.  Moss and brambles thrive....
    • Sadly true though. I've just replenished my (clean)  feeders and put out suet blocks and logs. Now I'm waiting for the pigeons and squirrels to descend 🤣
    • https://butterandcrust.com/pages/home-u2 Adding that in case I'm not the only person who didn't know what they deliver! Now I know, sadly I'm not really into "artisan breakfast goods", not do I want to double my weight 🤣 I'm considering using a fruit and veg delivery service again, because I don't eat enough veg these days. I used to use Oddbox, but the quality deteriorated badly unfortunately (it was always wonky etc veg, which was fine, but I think they must have changed their sources or their quality control or something).
