The planes are to let it grow for a year or two and see what it gives me to work with! Only been dug and chopped for maybe two months now, so it is very very early in it's development.
Yes, that is all from the past couple months. It was a bare stump when I potted it up.
It is a shame he lost some of those... I am surprised. I had one sitting out through the winter of 2014 here and it was fine- much bigger tree than most of his... And we are in different places.. Maybe it go colder there than here! I guess mine is in a somewhat sheltered spot under another larger tree too... They seem to grow in the swamps around here as understory trees most of their lives, and I have found they grow really well in at least partial shade.. Maybe that helps keep them from drying out a bit to, which- as the name implies- water is their friend!
Keep in mind.. That is a big ole cement mixing tub too, so the brick is kind of forward in the image and actually looks a little larger than it is in relation to to he tree... I realized I had done that after I took the pick... Prolly shoulda put it back beside the tree for a better comparison!
Didn't realize it had just been collected.
they are growing my friend... This one should probably go in the three year time capsul thread.
