Hi. I'm glad to hear that mate. They aren't too difficult to get going. I watched your vid of the unpacking. I'd be really interested to see how they come on as bonsai over time. I always offer some to enthusiasts in February and that'll be the case again in 2024. I've been responsible for the planting of hundreds of black poplars now across Britain via my own efforts and the cooperation of a whole network of enthusiasts. Your project is a welcome added dimension....................... Good luck with your endeavours mate. Cheers. :)

Really good you being able to get out finally. It has been wet down here too. I love these usually on trail - just good for a munch. But as you say good for cooking too. A nice forage there. Here's wishing you a happy new year a great 2024 up there in North Wales. All the best from the shire. Mark

Hi Mark. Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. The countryside is one big smorgasbord to me. Have a great 2024 too. Looking forward to your uploads this year. Best wishes from North Wales :) Scott

It's naturally found in the western parts of mainland Britain but will grow almost anywhere it is introduced. If you are in such western parts, I'd suggest mooching about in deciduous woodland which isn't too dense as the shoots and leaves are just appearing now and are very obvious. In a few weeks, woodland floors will be covered with it where it occurs.......................... Thanks for commenting :) Always welcome.
