I am hoping this tree is eligible for the mame contest. I was going to wait to start a thread for this tree but I cant figure out how to send pictures in conversations here, so this is my work around.
The story behind it is my cousin ran over this (now) little guy with a sit down lawn mower last fall. How he didn't see a 30" bush that had been there all the years he lived in that house I don't know (as they say in The Simpsons "glug glug vroom vroom thunk thunk" is my only guess. He thought for sure he had killed it. It lived. This spring rolls around and I showed up just as he was finishing off the job. I pulled up just as he was popping the stump out of the ground. I thought why not, I can spare a pot and some soil on a lost cause. I will only lose five minutes of my life tying it into a pot. So I tossed the tree into a plastic bag with a splash of water and took it home.
Here it is the day I got it April 16 2017:
Here it is May 21 2017, just five weeks later. Not looking dead yet.
