Cork Bark Elm Air layer

After removing the air layer from a smallish Cork Bark Elm on the 5th of August, SEE HERE , I was surprised that the parent base has budded so strongly this late in the season.

Bugger!!!!

Very annoying!! I was standing about 10 feet away when a freak gust of wind caught this Juniper and launched it off the bench. It was my sons tree, I haven’t told him yet 😦

Luckily no branches were damaged. Big drop in temperature here today, is this the start of it?

Does this count as a Triple Trunk?

I noticed today that my little potentilla had sprouted some fungi right at the base. Never one to miss a photograph opportunity, here they are.

Don’t know why, but I just love finding these little guys lurking around my trees.
