    Conker trees

    right if theres a conker tree and all around it are scattered many conkers then why dont loads of little conker trees grow around it? MM rekons its because they first have to be eaten by badgers and shit out elsewhere on the forest bed

    can this be denied or confirmed

    Conker trees start germinating in the autumn and then stop, and then continue the following spring.

    not so fast Mr Baggins

    most of the apples we eat are grown overseas and their trees would not grow in the british climate

    conker trees dont grow from conkers because of the bigger conker tree towering above it so there is no light for the younger seeds to flurish and the bigger tree takes up all the nutrionts(sp)?? from the ground this is my theroy anyway mate:wink:

    is it not because the actual seed is inside the green shell? and the only time the seed (brown conker bit) acctually comes into contact with the earth is after its been covered in varnish and most likely shattered into pieces? :think: heed scratcher like
