Twelve years ago today, I planted the Darwin Bicentennial Oak in my garden. I am pleased to report that it is still doing well.

I have now spent twelve years gathering material for the longest time-lapse movie ever. Or should that be shortest?
Darwin's oak deserves more space. —Suggest you harvest the adjacent ?birch? tree!
No, it’s survival of the fittest in my garden: it’s what Darwin would have wanted.
