Plant shepherd and tree doctor in training. If we don't laugh, we'll cry.
We were in Clackmannanshire the other month for a short holiday. We decided to have a wander down the Devonside trail, and I could not believe how Himylayan Balsam there was.
At least the bees were happy but dear lord.

I'm spoiled having Tensmuir Forest and Beach at my doorstep. I do miss Perthshire for the hiking, though.

I was working with this very angry variegated Ilex yesterday. I'm not sure why it had because so densely spiked. Possibly due to over pruning or some kind of environmental factor. If anyone has more insight, I'd be fascinated. I'm still a student and have much to learn.

It's quite a scramble to the top, but it's a fantastic view. A must for anyone bagging Munros.

Kinnoull Hill, Perth
Old picture and not a particularly hard hike, but it has fantastic scenery and is a haven for native Scottish flora and fauna.
