Sumo Olive
This stump is from the Mt Lofty ranges and it has been threw a fire. I have had it for about 10 months and it has just started to throw new shoots so it's good to see it alive. Dimensions are 150mm at the widest point 95mm high. I haven't touched the trunk at all, every thing is natural
see how it goes

Re: Sumo Olive
Hey Chris
That is an absolutely awesome chunk of wood
Just goes to show you should never throw out a chunk of wood until your totally certain it IS dead & not biding its time before away it goes again. I have had the odd thing sit for up to almost 2yrs before throwing a shoot.
Cant wait to see how you style a canopy to go over that base.
