Water newly planted trees as leaves are developing to optimise leaf and extension growth. Planted trees are used to irrigation in the nursery so need aftercare post planting. This is the most important part of #TreeEstablishment. #TreePlanting is the easy bit. #TreeWateting

Momentum is building, not only on case of the Whitewebbs Oak, but on fixing the wider 'gaping void' in tree protection that this outrage has highlighted so shockingly. theguardian.com/environment/20…

We still don’t know: the name of Toby Carvery’s “expert” who claimed the tree was dead & dangerous; who cut the tree; why they used unmarked vehicles; why they didn’t contact tree owner Enfield Council; why Metropolitan Police won’t investigate. #WhitewebbsOak #WhitewebbsOakMassacre

#WHITEWEBBSOAK Much more valuable tree. Priceless, irreplaceable habitats. NO Metropolitan Police investigation. Mitchell's & Butler said it was dead and dangerous. It was neither. Why no investigation? #TwoTierJustice Corporations get a free pass from police. #SycamoreGapTree

Where as Met Police won't even investigate destruction of much more valuable #WhitewebbsOak. Mitchell's & Butler, FTSE 250 company claimed the tree was dead and dangerous but it was neither. It wasn't even near the Toby Carvery. Is this #TwoTierJustice? Corporations go free.

Mitchells & Butler, a FTSE 250 corporation, destroyed a much more valuable ancient oak in a public nature reserve in London, claiming it was dead and dangerous. Metropolitan Police refuse to investigate. TELL THEM you care. Complain to the Met NOW!
