The Tater thread

[Dav4]

Post 'em up, let's see them! I know you have them, hidden on the back of your bench, embarrassed by their short squatiness. I was once like you. I was embarrassed by my taters. In recent years, though, I've grown to love them, and have moved them to the front of the bench where they belong.... in all seriousness, they're at the front of the bench so they get adequate sun.


My benches are clearly overrun with taters.... but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My only pine. I have a short maple、but it's all covered in leaves now.

Cedar Elm, it has a little more taper than the photo shows. It will probably get chopped soon.

Fringe tree that I dug last year. No idea what I will do with it but it lived so it gets a place on the bench.

A whole pack of taters on the top row!

and my biggest tater of all. A choke cherry fatty.

Nice fatties @Dav4, but that hawthorn is neither short nor squatty!
Here are a few spuds for your viewing displeasure.
Pine variety first... (oh, the humanity! No people’s choice awards here)

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Tridents...
The second is a cutting from the first.

Ginkgo fries?

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Exposed tubers count?

Ilex Serrata tater, still baking.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Haven’t decided if this one is worth digging up, hackberry frite, still hacking it back.

I would. It'll never be a great tree, but - to me at least - it can certainly be a very interesting one if you capitalise on the features it already has. But I like gnarly decidous trees with hollow trunks etc.

Long live the tater!!

Now I know why they are call 'hackberry'.

Are you afraid that you don't have the horticultural cahones to do make a magnificent spud?

 

[Cajunrider]

Split top tater just put in the oven.

 

[Dav4]

[Dav4]

Hmmm, I can only imagine what this thread is in response to.
Great taters guys. Now I'm hungry.
