Not yet. We're going collecting early November. Will post updates of the trees collected at the trip. I have a feeling its going to be a good year.

It is late fall here in Sweden. Construction workers were chopping down a strip of green, apparently for a parking lot. I asked and was able to rescue one of the few longer stumps. A few weeks ago, these were wonderful bushes with fiery red leaves and nice black berries on them.

Hope it survives the winter.

What is it?

What is it?

I do not know, honestly. Didn't pay too much attention before they chopped it down and now it's impossible to identify from the stumps alone.

I remember bright red, round leaves and black berries. If it survives, I can tell next year

Could be this, bit could be many other things

Wow, great find! If my memory doesn't betray me, it looks like a match. I wish I paid more attention while the bushes still existed!

Walked by this the other day, Mother Nature used her pry bar lol unreal that’s like a 6ft tall tree, amazing to see how far the roots go through a crevice

A little late but had to get em now before the construction wipes them out. 2 large chinensis... they each had one large tap root but a decent number of feeder roots near the surface for each. Goal for each is just to get them recovered in the spring and growing/fertilize/ maybe do some basic structural determination.

Collection Site:



Both loaded up. I covered their root balls as best as I could with field soil.



Both home:

Looks like it might be the 'Old Gold' cultivar? Hard to tell this time of year due to foliage color changing... Regardless they are very nice and I am certainly envious!

 

[Orion_metalhead]

The foliage does not look like my other old gold but we will see.
