Peppercorn (schinus molle) stump

Sorry to hear that

It happens. Plenty more peppercorns out there - an excuse for another dig at some point

I don't have any experience with peppercorn but have seen many mentions about them dropping everything and sooking for many months before resprouting. Maybe don't be too quick to the green bin with this one

Definitely gone unfortunately. I've already identified my next target though, and may have cut it back so it has shot down low by the time I dig it out. I think I have a problem.

Bad luck mate - happens to us all. You racked up some good carving experience from this one at least.
