So I bought a fast red mustang that has been in the shop one fourth of the whole time I've had the car. Being at the dealership so much I get bord, so I decided to go for a little walk along the concrete river running through the middle of Cincinnati. But wait........Something catches my eye.... it's a brilliant red leaves call me closer.... as I approach I get a phone call telling me they lost some kinda nuts and bolts to my transmission and they will have to order some more smh.. but back to the red leaves heheheh.. it's a callery pear monstrosity!!!!!!! Apparently the grounds men have been mowing over this piece of evasive crap species ever week for years in an attempt to dispatch the poor creature. Well let me have a go at it... but it does have some charm... and definitely has a "metal of Honor" Will to survive... soooooo I Scary back to my truck and grab my shovel a plastic bag and a water bottle for a quick extraction!!Screenshot_20230221_021404_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20230221_021332_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20230221_021353_Gallery.jpg
 
😂😂Great starter tree. Now will right parts grow🤔?
I believe it will.. even tho it's 80% scar tissue on every branch there are still plenty of buds on the tree if you can believe that. Hopefully it won't get rust Poisoning from me using a metal colander 😉
 
Just an update dead!!! I give it hell but didn't have enough roots and trunk in the dirt to sustain the newly emerging foliage.. would have been a cool one 🫠
 
So I thought I would update my monstrosity page with a new ..... monstrosity that was collected and saved from the hell of be mowed over every week this summer. I collected this tree early fall right as the leaves started turning and although the tree didn't grow anymore this year after collecting it did turn a very bright yellow along with this other elm raft I collected around of the Same time and Variety as the monstrosity. I don't believe it is an Siberian elm because I'm pretty sure what they look like and don't think it's a Chinese elm although there is some within a mile of that location but no Chinese elm found anywhere around the raft of the same variety as the elm monsterosity. If you are familiar with American elm Species let me know what you think. I'm including pictures of the elm monstrosity the raft of the same species as Comparison. They had the same leaves and fall colors. I have right now Chinese elm, zelkova, and siberian elm crossed off the list of Suspects because I own all of them. And regardless it doesn't really matter but I like to know what I'm growing. Ohh yea..the monstrosities were growing on their backs and i changed their growing Orientation upright.. they're ugly fraternal twins lol.. 20231123_021015.jpg20231123_020445.jpg20231123_020405.jpg20231123_020951.jpg
