At some point, I am going to add a database of trees on the barracks to this here website, to go along with the mushroom database.
That's the good thing about a database. You can add things to it nice and easily. Such as trees I currently haven't identified, German and other international names, pictures, ages. All that. What other information would you like to know? Tell me in the comments or on my Instagram
I'll get around to it at some point. It's not that much work, but I'm hoping that spring will actually appear some time soon. And I am kinda busy with sowing a gazillion seeds in a bajillion pots. If the snow clears up for long enough, I'd quite like to dig some new ground as well.
Until then, here is the (updated, but almost certainly incomplete list) of trees which are currently here.

I know that I have forgotten some. And I know that there are some which I haven't identified yet. More of a time thing than anything else.
Still, I make that 56 different trees on the barracks so far.
If you could plant any tree, what tree would it be?
