"Alive! It's alive!" :)
Looks promising, Dan. We had a large redbud tree in the corner of the back yard. It flowered and produce huge gorgeous leaves every year until one year it simply didn't do anything at all -- no flowers, no leaves; just apparently dead. There were faint signs of life there. If you scratched the bark in some places it appeared green. So we left it for the birds to perch in. I took to calling it the deadbud. Then a couple of years ago we noticed it appearing to have sprouted leaves again. Looking closer we discovered that it had produced shoots from the bottom which had grown up using the old dead tree as support and it was sort-of regenerating itself. It's a bit of a Frankensteinian thing now, but the birds love it, and we don't have the heart to chop down such a spirited plant. On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 9:17 AM, Daniel J.
