Hi guys this morning i have collected a new desert ash with really nice trunk movement.....
let me know what you think..... now i will let the tree pop everywhere and i will cut on angle next winter or do you guys thonk is better to do it now

I would leave it to grow and then next year carve the stump exactly the way it needs to be.

Where are you finding these amazing stumps?

Good stuff.... great movement and barking... what lovely bark. This is a really nice find and I am sure it will only be a couple of years before it is really showing its worth.

In the desert maybe Lol

Good Question tho?

ken

good find gab! now careful you dont fill ya backyard with ash. may be im the only one silly enough.

If you wanna find thise sort of stumps you gotta look for it...lots of walking

Gab... I'm happy to loan you my dog to accompany your walks......

they're everywhere! shouldn't be a prob finding them.

this is true... but not very easy to find some with this nice movement i guess

Walking huh... That's a pretty open statement! Don worry I wasn't expecting an actual answer. Still loving the tree.

I'm not sure why you're waiting 'til next winter to cut the angle. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can establish your leader. BTW Beautiful curves. Damn I'm jealous!!!

AHAHAH....no secrets Jarrord as Tony sad those trees are everyewhere i actually dug up this one on a side of the railway growing ona hill

Dont be jelaous.... plenty out there of those....i wait first to see where is goona pop and not sure yet if i wanna carve it....

hi gab, thats a great trunk & like you said, you have to do a lot of walking & looking. I walked 5 klm along the avoca river 3 weeks ago, lots of ashes but only found 2 worth digging & they're not as good as that. however, after digging good yamadori for about 15 years, I can tell you that you need to cut it now, otherwise, next year it will be all up there & you'll have to cut it down anyway & lose all the energy that went to the top. just my 2 bobs worth after digging this sort of stuff for so long. that is gonna be a killer tree, eat your heart out ant. cheers, miyagiman.

hey gab, is this the tree where I said you might have you build a rope ladder to get to it.
