Cool looking trunk. What is it?

It's a Texas persimmon. I'm about 80% sure it's female (I think I remember it bearing fruit last summer.)

I don't think plucking a couple hundred sucker buds did any harm to my honeysuckle yamadori...this dude has 3 ft branches now lol.

More anti-collecting. Transplanted a dozen BCs from the swamp to the lake bank where there was no BCs. I hope they survive the transplant and the beavers.

I went to the swamp and a tiny tree followed me home.

That’s a beaut.
Also, do you want me to get quotes on forklift rentals up here for all your trees?

While the tree is not small (14” at the base), I still don’t need anything to lift it yet.

It’s a gorgeous piece of material to work with. Bravo!

I collected an Am. elm today from in our woods and put it in a basket to see how it survives the transplant. I am not sure whether to keep it for a pre-bonsai or plant it in our landscape in the fall. It was about 10-12 ft tall and I did chop off the upper part. The problem is the trunk has minimal movement, although the roots look good.

If you want to plant it in the landscape let me know, I’ll be happy to plant it in my landscape (and by landscape I mean a training pot). I’d work on that material in a heartbeat.
Seriously though, pot it up. It’s got good bones and could really be something once it gets some years of work done to it.

OK folks. I will let it grow and in the planter and see what back buds it makes and what they offer for the future. I also dug a tree I think is a hornbeam today. It is only about 1.5 inch diam. in caliber with a very curvy base. I put that in a pot to see what it really is once the leaves come out. This gives me all the trees I plan to collect this year, that is including the suspected red maple that I chopped and left in the ground.

American Beech. This had a lot going on at its base in the side of a mountain. After a removed some soil, the hidden truck was insane. I hope it comes through.My wife said it looked like Thing from Adam’s Family. Kids named it Jimothy.

Me too. I used to see guys in Okinawa using those with absolute precision, digging small, perfectly square trenches.
