A little ways back I was clearing some overgrown brush from the backyard. There were some pine stumps and liquidamber trees growing that were larger than I want back there and needed bigger tools. I literally tripped over this thing. It was a bit taller obviously and I hacked it back to a smaller size. Maybe 11 or 12 inches.
I think it's some type of birch. Maybe someone can help me with the ID. The bark seems to be such that it won't heal over very well. It's thin and flaky. Regardless, it is growing on land I own, costs a bit of sweat and I thought "why not?".
Since then it's started to push some new leaves. Hopefully they have enough time to harden off before winter comes... if we do get a winter this year. It's been so mild in Virginia that I'm wondering if they are going to need to change the USDA hardiness zone.
Thanks for lookin'.
