This is my favorite place...... a 2 mile stretch of rural roadside. I've collected 2 varieties of mulberry, oaks, rough leaf dogwood, ERC, common and Chinese privet, elm, nandina, lantana (blue and orange ) , elaeagnus, camphor, mimosa, etc. I recently found crepe myrtles from 1" diameter to 36"............yes, 36 INCHES just inside the tree line.
The group of small bushes on the left are camphor. They have thumb-sized or bigger gnarly trunks ready to be dug and made into almost instant shohin. The big one behind the walking stick is has a 2" trunk.
