Brogdale and others have recommended M111 or M25 rootstock for Park trees
so we are talking of trees 20 to 30ft high eventually if the vandals don't

impossible so I think they will just have to take their chance once fully
grown but I'm not sure the others involved understand the implications.

Do you think the local yoof would be amenable to involvement in the
planting & care? Could just help with the vandalism angle.

We can but try, yet again, to get the local youf involved.
One of the workers building the park had 3 young chaps tell him about some
vandalism, so it's by no means all the youf that causes trouble, it just
seems like it when you try to improve the local environment.
