I have heard a tale (urban legend?) that they dip the rootball in boiling

Is that what Bakker do with beech hedging?

Who/what is Bakker?

Yesterday I found out that the Heeley city farm in Sheffield is 'hiring
out' xmas trees. Amazing weird idea at first but when you think about

keep the trees going outdoors till next year. Top idea that )
