Ours keeps doing worse and worse each year. I think it has to do with the extreme hots and colds.

Looks like a serious tree, nice. I would dig it in spring. Once potted you can find a suitable position to keep it out of frying sun in summer.

This olive is a parking lot volunteer. It's trying to layer itself through a crack in the asphalt, so I decided to help it along. I'll collect by cutting it flush at the bottom once enough roots develop.

I've been locating and clearing alot of trees this summer. I haven't been taking pics, but I have several Dougie's and a dozen or more Pacific Yew to collect along with a bunch of Vine Maple.

No pics but I have got permission from the bank manager to dig a bunch of amur maple and till a cordata that have escaped the parking lot and are growing over an embankment into the wooded area. Nothing super impressive but some future shohin for sure. I will be waiting til spring tho. That coral bark mape is awesome by the way

Wow thats a fat base !

I surely has fattened up nice over the years!

Also waiting to put this guy in a proper home and give it a good old chop. It's an elm that's been growing in native soil for 4 years now. I kinda want to do a root over rock with it

 

[gallina1594]

Or.... Try turning these roots into branches? There's some growth at the surface now, I bet it wouldn't be very hard to push it up a little further

What species is that? Looks like a landscape tree right now - no taper in the lower trunk, weird roots. Do you have something more interesting higher up with the limbs? If so it might be a candidate for an air layer. Turn those sprouting roots into trees of their own. Throw away the cylinder of a trunk in between.

Hard to see but you get the idea this is one I am excited to collect, an Eastern White Cedar with about 60% deadwood and a lot of interest with small branching near the trunk. Thinking of collecting in the fall.
And a larch

I found a couple Ulmus Minor trunks...
Bout e3-t5in chopped..maybe beavered...
To about w2ft.

You like how my numbers come with letters!?

Next year I may go nuts and re up my elm game.

Somewhere in the Rockies



A few major limbs have been burned from a previous fire but it survived, it might have a few more big rains before it goes down the gulley. I hope it's there when I return.

Kinda waiting to dig this big forsithia out of the front garden
Probably next spring

Small collection from 2 days ago. They grow all over my property..it's false shrubby button weed. I always get surprised b/c they exhibit age and great movement already. Plus super flexible and easy to bend/wire. I've only collected one other before this one:

 

[RKatzin]

Here's a Pacific Yew I found doing some brush clearing. It's showing a good six inch trunk at ground level and it splits into three parts about two feet up. Lots of deadwood up top. There's several long horizontal branches that were extending through the Live Oak. There's a nice Live Oak a foot away.
I am finding a lot of Yew, but this is the biggest so far.

Here's a couple Rocky Mountain juniper on my list. I found these many years ago, still haven't gotten to them.

The first one is very collectible, the second... probably, need to be there prepared and ready to collect before investigating further.

I sure hope this and the many others on the list are surviving the heat, drought and fires this year...

Not sure collecting next year will be a good idea or not, trees might be very weak, cooked surface roots..,
