  • The Mighty Oak Tree: A tree of life, medicine and history! 🌳
    Oaks stand tall with their vast canopies of unique lobed leaves, gifting us millions of acorns every year. These remarkable trees support over 2,800 wildlife species! 🦡🦊🐦🦎🐝 But their generosity doesn’t stop there-acorns are also edible for humans and can be ground into flour or even used as a coffee alternative! ☕🍞
    The oak is also a rich source of natural medicine. Its powerful astringent properties can help heal wounds, aid digestion, and treat conditions like gingivitis! 💚

      With love a good few of The Acorns delivered to Glasgow would be great to have something so big up here as for sweet chestnuts I found out sweet chestnuts don't grow good at all in Scotland so if you can eat acorns I would love some if it is possible hope you and your lovely family are keeping good

    The first tree I planted on my land was an oak, from an acorn I picked up on my travels.
    Just think… I planted a tree that will, if allowed to grow, be here for many generations to enjoy
    That’s a nice thought 😊

    A blue jay dropped an English Oak acorn from this year's tree. I'll be planting. When the Bluejay picked up a 🥜 peanut.
    I picked up the oak acorn. I then put it in water and it sank so that means it's a good seed. I planted in the moist soil keep it moist so it doesn't dry out rot but becomes a new sprout seedling. I don't wish squirrels find it.

    These amazing trees take me back to when i was a boy, They were great for climbing and making a tree house in, Very rare a branch snapped, Extremely strong. Not to many birds nests, but occasional owl roosting in them.
    Thanks for the info and the trip down memory lane

    Of all the trees that grow so fair, old England to adorn
    Greater are none beneath the sun than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
    Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
    All on a midsummer's morn
    Surely we'll sing of no little thing
    In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
