There was a good post, a few months back on here, where a poster told the
story about a bay tree he removed from his garden. He cut the main trunk
and
left it as a pole/post in the garage. If I recall his story, a year or so
later he planed it and turned it into a post to put a house name/number
on.
After hammering it into the ground, a few week later it was sprouting new
growth...........some cutting that.



'twas I. The post is thriving! I'll post a picture some time.



I'd be very interested in seeing that!

I'd be interested to know if the post has actually put out roots, but
I'm not going to dig it up to find out!

Wonderful photo - just shows what willpower can do for you. ;-)
