Collected prunus - anyone for stumpsai?

Post by greg27 »

I ignored work for a few hours on Saturday and snuck out for a quick dig. I went to a new spot I've been meaning to suss out - plenty of olives, as always, but I bypassed those and found a couple of prunus stumps (maybe P. cerasifera). If they are plums, please consider this my formal application for admission to the plum club :tu:

Couple of good carving projects if nothing else.

Nice finds, the bark definitely looks different compared to your last prunus site. I'm finding myself quite jealous of your yamadori excursions since I've moved away but I'm living vicariously through your updates :tu:

Where have you moved to? Hopefully not too far to make it to club digs!
