Those free tree seedlings some of us sent off for last year
« on: April 15, 2011, 21:36:29 »
Well, I'm surprised and delighted to say that mine (a Rowan) has made it through the winter and has one little leaf just beginning to open today.   ;D
How is everyone else doing?  (Sorry, for the life of me I can't remember who posted it originally or the name of the company organising the free trees.)

Was it Andrex?  I have two Rowans, both about 18" tall and in full leaf.

I have a rowan about a foot tall, it has very pretty fresh green leaves. It has spent the winter outdoors in a pot - still not sure where to plant it!

Funny how all the replies so far have been about Rowans yet I'm sure there was a choice of three.  I also think it wasn't Andrex who sponsored - might have been 'Velvet'  ???
