if you go by a google search, it's like I'm one of the only ones digging up this type of stuff.

maybe in a few years. finding interesting trunks is tough. willingness to part with an interesting trunk is also tough

a boring trunk is fine

Just read this whole thread. I’ve been really enjoying your contributions to the site, some really nice histories on your projects between posts like this, the pears, and others. Keep them coming! Did not know blueberries came this big!

in the woodline on break looking for a sweetgum to dig up and a winged elm cutting donor tree. first thing you do at this time of year is stop by a massive vaccinium corymbosum and get a snack.

 

[Darth Masiah]

for the love of potential




no buds on this section yet. by the muscling (is that even a word. maybe musculature) in the trunk it looks like sap is flowing around it.

vaccinium arboreum i think

The woods here are full of highbush blueberries, always amazes me how nuts they get below the soil. I have learned that just because they have a 1 inch trunk above the soil, that it may flare out to 5 inches or more under the soil. They'll lose the main trunk at some point and grow a new one I assume based on some I find with multiple rotted out holes in the root flare that have a lot of character. I dug up 7, I think, last year and they all survived, 2 abandoned their trunk and suckered from the base though sadly.
