A magpie dropped a message in my bonsai area and a close look tells me that the magpie has been eating red cotoneaster berries (well I'm not 100% sure) and if you were to plant this package the likely success rate is quite high as the seeds have had a special stratification process.
And to get it to sit at that angle is a talent.

Re: Gotta Love Mother Nature
Well, you have to plant it
keep us posted and we can adopt it like a newborn. You could do a.."Trueman show"..on it.

"Trueman" looks to have an informal upright tendancy. 

Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

Re: Gotta Love Mother Nature
I'm pretty sure I don't need any more trees, but I might plant it just for fun. Leaning or maybe windswept could be the style?

Re: Gotta Love Mother Nature
But you now have responsibility, Trueman exists. he should be nurtured and turned into a windswept. The world is watchingWatto wrote:I'm pretty sure I don't need any more trees, but I might plant it just for fun. Leaning or maybe windswept could be the style?
