Full sun, well, as full as I can in my tree filled backyard.

As promised, a haircut. Raining most of the day, heck, I can't remember when it wasn't raining. I retreated to the porch on the Mullet's secret lair and trimmed trees part of the day.

After:
In case you haven't been playing along, the long top branch is a thread graft that I made to improve the apex. It seems to be doing well, it has already covered the hole that I drilled through the trunk.

Looking great! It sure looks healthy. Can we see a closeup of the thread graft? I've got some Hormbeams that I might need to graft in the next year or two.

If I get a break in the rain, I will see what I can do. If you look on page 2 of this thread, it shows how I did it. It is actually the first that I have done, others may be better at it.

Update
Almost ready for its third haircut.
I think the thread graft may have taken. The part that will stay is double the size where it exits compared to where it enters. Also, it has filled the hole where it passed through.

I actually did this winter, and had them with some rice, gravy, and biscuits.

I think that the misidentification as an elm was established earlier in the thread.

My grandma used to par boil them then shake and bake them.
Delicious!

I did not know you could do tags, maybe b-nut could edit the title for me? What about it @Bonsai Nut? Or I guess I could start each new post with "This is a hornbeam".......
I don't know where the random azalea picture came from.

Never tried cat, unless it was at the Chinese buffet and went unnoticed. The Kung-Po chicken did have an odd texture now that I think about it.....
I have heard that cat is similar to raccoon. A lot of people like to hunt 'coons here in the Heart of Dixie and sell the meat, it is usually required that when you skin one that you leave one foot attached, unskinned, to prove that it is a raccoon and not someone's wayward cat.

Cats are stringer than coin. They are more like rabbit. Hard to tell the 2 apart when the hides off I would imagine. I never ate a cat either but I have eaten raccoon. The meat is like bear. Greasy and fatty but tender and good.
I've eaten almost every animal that lives wild here when I was a hunter and younger.
