About a week ago I got a call that my dad was in the hospital in east Texas. After a frantic and stormy flight down, I finally made it to the hospital just before he passed, evading a tornado on the way.
It was a bleak, painful week-long trip for the most part. However, my brother and I collected a cedar elm from southwest ten acres of my dad's land. Thought it would be a good way to remember my dad.
Although the tree was dug far, far, far out of season, I'm hoping it's got enough gas to push new shoots and live through the winter. If it doesn't, there are a few more down there.
Barerooted, tap chain sawed flat, a few feeders. Chopped tall. We'll see.
FWIW, if this one doesn't make it, there are dozens more.
First pic is of the tree at my house after being flown as baggage, second is of the woods where it came from--the raked area is around the collected tree. I also dug a smaller one. I've got more detailed pics of the collection process, but they're pretty tedious. I may post those later.
