If you don't remember to remove the seeds, you'll have nothing to worry about after about 12 hours. Those you leave behind might not take it lying down.

You need a hedge-fund manager.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI've just received delivery of 50 1.2-1.4m yew trees, in order to create a classic British yew hedge, here in the heart of Europe, to show these Johnny Foreigners what a real hedge looks like.
My work crew arrive tomorrow to plant the hedges. Any tips in the meantime for keeping the trees a healthy as possible?
