A Hawthorn Stump
A few years ago a large Hawthorn shrub at the edge of my Doug fir forest was uprooted by a heavy snowfall. It remained alive and grew many new branches like a coppice. Last fall I cut away all the trunk and the mess of branches for firewood. Now the stump has started regrowth. See first picture. Note: I cleared away overgrowth of trailing Blackberry etc. To more clearly reveal the sprouting Hawthorn, seen mostly diagonally up and to the left of the cut stump.
Score today included 6 Hawthorn seedlings (many more in the vicinity!) and 5 broom seedlings.
