A phoenix rising from the ashes!

[Mayank]

Every year I hold my breath and so far every year (knock on wood, cross fingers and toes) a very dead looking phoenix rises up, shakes its head and tail feathers and shrugs off its winter blues
@vancehanna raised this baby and I'm charged with its ongoing maturation. Pictures don't really do it justice though

Container, of course, by the peerless Ron Lang!

Thanks! It's a Korean hornbeam and her name is K-pop

There’s always a few trees that are late to wake in the spring, even compared to others of their species.

It's so rewarding when a tree you thought was a goner rises from the presumed dead. Good for you!

The tree was purchased as a 3 yr seedling at the first MABA show in DesMoines, IA along with two of her sisters. I still have the other two....and Dr. Vora talked me out of Ms. Kpop!
