Lone Pine
Seedling
So today is the first snow of winter and temperatures are starting to get colder. I pass by this stump on my morning commute into work. It was cut down to a stump this autumn because high winds took down most of the tree. I am thinking about collecting this stump for a bonsai. I'm pretty sure its a Green Hawthorn. I would like the opinions of someone more experienced: Is this stump a lost cause? If not, should I attempt a collection soon (when snow thaws), or wait till early spring? The tree is pushed over a bit so some roots are exposed to air, and by now is covered in snow. Thanks for looking!
