Unfortunately I think all of the trunks on mine are pretty straight, but if I can find one with some interest...or maybe I'll put some wire on some branches and twist them and let them grow.

It's all there. Only thing I have to do is not screw it up! You've done great work on this tree Judy and lucky I get to be a little part of its history. Thank you!

Sangre de Christo range is right close, easiest fourteener's you can find. Did a lot of hiking in the area in the early 90's....talk about "wide open spaces"!!!!!

Yeah we love the hiking around there. The Sangres are basically right across the street. And it's not far to many more of the wilderness areas we've done lots of backpacking in.Sangre de Christo range is right close, easiest fourteener's you can find.

Thanks everyone for the support here. It's trees though not dogs, so I suspect I'll survive it! LOL..

I don't know that has yet to be seen. I love the natural tree around in these areas, but I'm such a deciduous junkie.When you get out here we can get you hooked on Rocky Mountain Yamadori. Lots of good stuff very near to your new property.

No worries about that. Plenty of deciduous shrubs and some trees you can still collect.
Some really amazing Mountain Mahogany to be found for sure. Serviceberry, honey locust, woods rose, spirea, chokecherry, gambel oaks. I could go on, the point though is that if you don't want to collect conifers, that's just fine. I'll collect those and we can find all the sweet deciduous for you.
I also get a fair amount of stuff from people's yards on the front range. Usually deciduous stuff.
When are we scheduling this collecting trip?

About 20 miles from where I grew up.
Many summers hiking the 14ers above Westcliff. Many thousands of acres of sweet trees will be very close to you.By the way... I "get it" also.
I heard someone muse one tine that we never "own" trees, only care for them and pass them on. Don't know for sure how I feel about that but I know how it is to let go for the sake of the journey...augustine

Your beautyberry is wonderful. If memory serves we were discussing this species last year and I mentioned that I planted seeds from mine. Not a single seed germinated. (planted in fall and left out, but sheltered, all winter). (Didn't do any research though, just removed the pulp.) Best to all and Happy Thanksgiving!
(Let's all be thankful that we have the resources to participate in this great hobby.)

JudyB - thank you for sharing you trees with all of us. You should be proud of your excellent work. Sorry you needed to move some of them but I am looking forward to seeing your future projects.

Thanks J, it's been a pleasure to share them, I wish more people would share their projects here too.
