Post subject: | Rescuing a lonicera lump |
Leaving the office yesterday I saw that they had cleared a section of the garden for new parking. 20170713_153144 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr There were a bunch of huge lonicera growing there, so I wandered over in case something could be rescued. Most were either too dead, dry or squashed. I decided that this one, as it was so thick, was worth lugging home and attempting a rescue: 20170713_193005 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr 20170713_193010 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr 20170713_192956 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr It is rather thick - thicker than a coke can. I hope it pulls through. |

Excellent rescue. It should bounce back with growth in a few weeks time, Bren. I will follow this thread with interest. |

It's all starts with the trunk as we know, so a free good sized trunk if a find. Let's hope it survives. |

Lonicera are amazing. Buds appearing already. From the front: 20170731_161312 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr From the right: 20170731_161325 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr Ok, nothing from the left yet - may not happen. I think this side was actually underground when it was growing: 20170731_161336 by BrendanR2012, on Flickr |

Hi Brendan they are almost bullet proof. Could be a very interesting bonsai if you plant it on the edge of a cliff LOL. I'm sure you'll do a great job with it when it's ready to be worked on. Cheers mate Nigel. |
