My Seat Has Come To Life (part 2)

Posted in Yamadori by Adam

On closer inspection of my log that has sprouted leaves I cannot see any roots forming underneath it. Surely a tree has got to have roots to suck up water?

My conclusions are that it is either sucking up water directly through the bark chippings underneath it into the log, or that the bottom of the log has rotted and formed roots inside.

Both conclusions seem rather strange to me so I’ve been investigating further. I am fairly sure it is a type of willow and as you might know willows grow with ease and very vigorously. I was thinking of moving it from the bark chippings where it’s sat to the earth but it’s doing so well where it is for the moment I’m afraid to change things.

I’m going to keep my eye on it and see where it goes. If it starts struggling I will move it to the soil and half bury it.

My Seat Has Come To Life

Posted in Yamadori by Adam

I had a bit of a shock today. My seat at the back of my garden has come to life and sprung leaves… Quite strange you might think seeing as it has been sitting there for about 6 months, as I went to sit on it I spotted leaves sprouting from it and quickly stopped myself from sitting down.
