    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.

    My work crew arrive tomorrow to plant the hedges. Any tips in the meantime for keeping the trees a healthy as possible?
    You need a hedge-fund manager.

    Are you going to let us make investments into these yew trees, as they will surely grow in value? You could set up a hedge fund.
