Great deal for money and not bad trunk either. Good fortune.

Good fortune

Carve that on a rock, throw it in the soil...

And a masterpiece we have made!

Okay everyone so i just started digging. What do yall think? Should I keep digging further into it? I REALLY want to completely uncover those 2 branches still covered in dirt. Will that hurt the tree? Should I stop now?

Is this a root growing from a branch???

Well..... I hope curiosity doesn't kill this tree.

I JUST WENT FOR IT!!!

I just wanted to clean it up a little bit, but then was like I should get it ready to wire later this summer, and well.... I went a lot harder on it than I originally planned but hey, it was only $5. I never planned on having this tree in the first place so why not try and learn right?


Like @sorce once told me... the deed is done. Pics below!

Sooooooo.... while cleaning up, I just realised the substrate that I slip potted it into was garden soil and not potting mix..... they both come in green bags
