As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
Utterly beyond fuming. When buying my house there was a lot to do including one very over grown hedge that is was hard to spot what was what in there. We spotted Oak & holly and where ok with that. We asked and I even wrote down her response when asked 'are there any sycamores?' 'Oh no says she, no sycamore'........
Any hoo looks like there is. I checked and checked again all winter to see what the trees were and have seen no seeds, seedlings or leaves so imagine my shock when the nice chappy tackling said hedge uncovered the trees (oh yes more than one) and said cheerfully 'they are sycamores'. Fuming
Have had a good look and can't find and seeds or seedlings or indeed any leaves so it's just now that the leaves are emerging and it's been liberated from 20 foot of gloomy holly surrounding it that it's apparent what they are.
Obviously they are going. But am now worrying about how long the seeds can lay dormant for as now the holly is being thinned any seeds that were under it will be able to get growing :mad3:
Obviously I'll be checking regularly but wondering if it a job of a few years or indefinitely.
Cake for all
