Went out this morning about a mile down the road and collected this clump/double trunk mulberry. I'm not really sure of the variety since it has leaves (spotted it in summer) which have much more pronounced lobes. I'm thinking paper mulberry. When I say "roadside" , I mean watching your backside when working on that side of the tree. The roots are very unusual , being yellow to yellow orange and they actually have a pleasing scent to them. I became aware that most all of my roadside/mowed over trees have a pronounced lean to them.
I love roadside trees because you get ramification , character and dead wood right at collection. I have hopes that this tree will be well on it's way by the end of this summer.
I really do like the kitty litter buckets. They are just about the right sized grow pot for many sizes of new bonsai and can be cut down to any height to fit the situation. When painted flat brown, they make a decent looking addition to the benches.
Oh, and there's the goat again.
