The National Trust doesn't like Hottentot Figs growing on their land
because they have been destroying every plant they see growing on Trust
property on the Lizard.

Warning - I'm going totally [OT]

Don't get me going on the NT, there's a lot the NT they don't like
which I do. When they bought Bedruthan steps to 'protect it' we got a
visitor centre, enlarged car park, twee rock garden. They closed the
path & they even tried to change the name. It was so totally unspoilt
before. OK, the path needed sorting, but that was it.

They sold 'protected' granite boulders from COT valley

to Morecombe, where they are now cemented into the sea front.

During the 'clean sweep' in Mount's Bay, they tried to prevent the
sewage from the Mount being treated, because it would mean disturbing
the cobblestones.

Now the want to destroy the Hottentot figs. I like Hottentot figs,
they grow well on exosed cliff faces where very little else can grow
because of the exposure & salt, and give a wonderful show of colour.
