Two years ago I trimmed our overgrown bay tree with a bow saw. There was
one nice straight off-cut around four feet long and three inches
diameter. This "post" was left bone-dry in the garage for six months then
I sharpened one end and hammered it into a hole and screwed the name
plate for out house to it. Today - a year and a half after bashing it
into the hole, the post has started putting out shoots of new growth!!!
I'm gob smacked!

Is it likely to have rooted?


*YOU* are ALLAH!
You have resurrected life.

Alternatively..................BURN IT!

I *hate* Bay with a vengeance (Culinarily).

rant over


I suppose I could sell it on "eBay" !
