30 plants planted in memorium Anthony Hitchcock on the 4th week anniversery of his death. These were collected in summer by Anthony from Silvermine, and germinated by Louise Nurrish for planting here. Anthony collected over 1000 seeds, but only 200 were wanted for here, and only 30 have germinated so far.
They were planted in 3 rows at 20m apart, for monitoring.

The Quercus Chronicles | Addendum | The Sooty Mould
Addendum - An aphidial smorgasbord
So the aphids suck on the oak leaves and process oak juice into honeydew (now there's a euphemism what ho!) which attracts a whole bunch of insects as well as sooty moulds which attracts another suite of insects. Thrilling!
