Anyone else waiting to collect something?!

Jack pine and larch, going back for more soon

Here's a couple Rocky Mountain juniper on my list

Those are incredible. I hope you can get them.

This is a nice cascading Pacific Yew. There was a lot of smoke in the air so the pics are weird. The whole thing is over five feet long and it's about to lose its grip in the shale cut bank.

 

[RKatzin]

I have found several of Yew that look like this. Inside there is usually an old busted stump and this is the regenerated growth having been pruned over the years by deer and elk. I have found very small shohin size up to 3-4 foot tall. This is a good example of what I'm finding.

I found a spot with some hawthorn trunks wich i like to collect




These are probably not the best out there but it gives an idea of the bark and size of the trunk

 

[RKatzin]

Here's another Pacific Yew. This one is less than ten feet off the road. I had to lay down in the brush to get these pics, but I wanted to show the inside of one.
I've found about a dozen of these and I want to collect as many seedlings/saplings as I can find. I sure hope somebody shows up.

I am waiting to collect something, but I am also waiting to find the material and get permission to collect.

Out walking the dog the other day and came across this. A Scots pine in the middle of nowhere. Well it's on a power line right of way. Already have permission to collect it.
The nearest Scots pine is about 2 miles from it. It's in an area that is mostly Jack pine,white pine and scrubby red oaks. All alone. It's mine next spring.
The reason I spotted it is because I've trained my eye to look for the unusual and out of place trees. Also on a sunny day my pair of polarized sunglasses with Amber lenses helps immensely. They make colors pop without glare. It helps to pick out the different greens and blues in a sea of green and blue.
It's mine next spring.
There are 2 jacks nearby that are also mine. Ran over ,beat up old things.
One stop shopping.

Not thought of vision enhancement..

Try a pair. They must be the Amber colored lenses. My Oakleys are called bronze Imodium I think. They're for low light levels to see fish in the grass but work awesome for picking out different colors in the landscape.
And when everything is in bloom is like nothing you've ever seen.
Also the high dollar glasses aren't really necessary. I also have a couple pairs of $15.00 polarized glasses that work as well.

Sweet. Sure I`ve got half decent ones in the shop for a tenner. Will grab a pair.

after care is crucial then, same goes for @defra and his beeches..

 

[defra]

Hmmm
The one in the crate is in the shade and free from wind
Full ground also shade but not completely free from wind

Also ill try to keep the frost away from the boxed one when winter comes by isolating the crate and mulch over the top soil

Anything else can i do @BobbyLane ?

Edit:
I got some superthrive left will that be good to use with beech ?

Starting to push buds now. Was happy with the roots. Will make sure its not dry and will go into the green house in heavy frost. fingers crossed.

i dont have much experience with collecting, but i know that the leaves on your beech are likely to shrivel and wither as they lose moisture, this also depends on how much root was removed. keeping out of wind will help, as will covering the top soil in chopped spag moss, it will provide extra humidity. drenching with rhizotonic/sea weed solution helps and i know Harry harrington also mists with rhizo, that works too ive seen the results. i can say that with beech they leaf out late and along with oaks, drop their leaves later. a lot of my deciduous are showing some fall colours, the beeches and oaks are still lush green and only just slowing down. i dunno if this will work in your favour. funnily, i trunk chopped a beech about a month ago, its beginning to shows signs of budding, it was already callusing before that.
maybe have a look at how harry harrington treats the oaks that he collects at this time of year, could maybe apply some of the techniques.

ps if i'd have collected a beech at this time of year, i would have also mixed in some chopped spag moss in with the cat litter. fresh spag moss is amazing in root regeneration in my experience

May cut some over growth off my cortorted willow and use them for some willow water..

As your linking to beach and oak, id drop in hazel too.. all seem to pop out the solar collectors, and unless they are not there, tries to ride with them. I would say @defra take the leaves off now. more energy to buds, roots and recuperation. Pinch of salt here mind and anyone please tell me i`m wrong.

Thnx for the help i will look into harry's info to see what i can do!

Some leaves did go crispy yes but some are still looking good.

I guess according the size of the tree and remaining roots it lost like allot o.0
i do have spaghmum moss so ill chop some up and put it on top maybe i can also work some into the soil with a chopstick tomorow

I have another small beech wich i rootpruned/potted and chopped a beech before bud brake this year but no growth at all so far still green under the bark tough
