Lifes a Beech

[Victorim]

Collected this guy today. All my collects untill now have been raw stumps, so loving the options this will give Was an easy removal with a recpricator and lots of fine roots.

Looks like it was found clinging to the side of a cliff. ?

Ahhhhh gotcha! Explains it!

Looking from the side there is an awesome wiggle just before the branching, for possible layer. Will just feed and tweak until it's clear and the time is right. Don't quite know where it's going yet.. It will be a bit of a parasol..

Found the spot for it. And added some guy wires.

That’s very awesome. I had no idea they’d get funky either. All I see are straight up. Then, I was super excited to find this wonky one on a cliff a couple of weeks ago. However, I think you got me beat as far as unusual movement goes.
Looking forward to your progression as I am very green, and at a loss with next steps.
