lilac



This is a lilac tree that I got early in the summer. It was dug up and put in a pile of branches for 2 days.there was construction at work and it needed to go, so the workers dug it up and left it. I wasn't sure if it was even going to live.The roots were exposed to the air for days with no water or protection and it was the wrong time of the year for collecting yamadori. I trimmed the top back and put it in a pot with potting soil.It bounced back pretty well, so next year I'm going to split it in to 2 different trees. One for me and one for my front yard. I'm going to keep everything together except for the single trunk on the right.Right now it's a little too tall but that's okay......for now.
