Welcome to overgrow! You’ll love it! Do you have good genetics for where you are now? I get close to 45 inches/yr at 42 north lat. Looks like Ireland gets around 30 inches. If you need tips on how to deal with wet weather and what will survive there, look me up. I’ve been researching this for quite some time. If you’ve any tips to share that were learned by these NZ farmers I would love to hear them.
