Not a Success
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 13 May 2011
Someone has planted some broadleaved saplings here, but the experiment has not proved successful. Only one still shows any sign of life, and its leaves have barely managed to creep from the spindly trunk. All the rest are dead, and most have fallen over. I imagine that the combination of wind, salt water and wet acid soil here is not really ideal habitat for young trees.
