Birch from seed progression

[Mikecheck123]

I stole some seeds off my neighbor's birch.

Year 1 they didn't do much. This is Dec. 1, 2018.

This is Sept. 2, 2020. That escalated quickly! Perhaps I should have separated the seedlings before they fused. I think I'm going to just lop off the straight boring one on the right.

The fatter trunk is 12 feet tall now. I'm going to do a hard chop and repot in the next week or so.

So far so good!
