Mr.Stump- Who are you?
Mr. Stump the Mystery Tree
In the winter of 2014 I dug up Mr. Stump. What kind of tree is he? I have no idea. He was a tree that had both been cut down and then half torn out of the ground. Many roots were exposed and much of the root-mass had become rotten and brittle. I silently thought to myself....if Mr. Stump lives then fine and well but if I leave him here is is sure to perish anyway." So without further a-do, Mr. Stump was removed and prepared to awaken from his winter slumber.
Frankly speaking I was a bit doubtful of my chances of success. After planting in the pot it was kept covered in plastic to encourage humidity and kept on an indoor windowsill that would not likely fall below zero at night. Hey presto! Shoots are starting nine weeks later. Not too shabby, let's see if it has the energy to push them out.
