Planting Conker Trees

We had a wonderfully busy day today helping plant some more trees in our woodland. Today we were asked to plant some horse chestnut or conker trees that Cambusbarron Community Development Trust had been growing in pots. We worked hard digging the holes and then tapping on the bottom of the pots to free the conker roots and then planting the baby trees in the ground. We spotted lots of other plants in the pots and checked out how different all of their roots looked.

We noticed how warm we were when we were working hard and wondered how big our muscles will be with all the digging we were doing. We also wonder how long it will take for our conker trees to grow conkers. We’ll decided to come back and check on them tomorrow.
