I’ll sort of add to this as one of us finds a blog we like.
Bad news first – it is written in the USA and it concentrates on North American trees and things woody. The author is Genevieve Netz who sounds as if she has been in love with trees for years.
The good news is that although I have never met her, if her blog is anything to go by she is fun and knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. She also loves her research and finds weird and wacky historical stuff in places most of us never knew existed. A fair number of her posts apply as well in the UK as the US. Wood rots in both places – yes she has a post about posts (and how they decay…) and fair number of the trees she writes about grow here also. So posts on, for example whether seedling black walnut tree produce smaller nuts than grafter ones are as relevant here as there. I wish I had written some of her stuff.
So if you have a minute, take a look at

Next up is Michelle – she will probably forgive me for saying she is no professional, but she clearly, really, cares. Enjoy her at http://michelles-garden.blogspot.com
Watch your plants grow, and enjoy.
Mmmm see what you mean. Loved the stuff about black walnut (nuts?). Shame I planted a seedling nearly 25 years ago…
