Cue many a forehead slap
Hi folks, I have been given permission to collect some (a load) of stumps of Blackthorn, Prunus Spinosa, that are part of an old laid hedge which is to be removed in the summer sometime up til October at the latest. I have no control over when this will happen so i’m going to try over various intervals until then to collect some of these death row diners.
The hedge is old, haggard and leggy so when they get dug they will end up as roots and a stump. No leaves, nuthin’.
Question 1. Do any of these (assuming for a decent rootball) stand a chance of survival?
Question 2. Why have you always got to be so damn negative? Hmm?
Question 3/4. Why not, or, What specifically is bad about the active growth stage for collecting? Chuck all the science you want at me here or just a load of hyperbole, if you prefer. It’s all interesting.
Question 5. Most importantly, what can be done to improve the chances of survival? I’m thinking amount of field soil kept, amount of shelter and shade, soaking roots for an extended period, watering regime thereafter, sweating in a bag etc.
Thanks.
