This is a stump of a venerable Sassafras/Sassafras albidum they had to cut down in Green-Wood. (Luckily, it had a twin right next door….)
Anyway, a Tuliptree/Liriodendron tulipifera has gained a roothold in a crack in the old wood.
One response to “Seedling”

Near my house there is a magnificent catalpa tree with a juniper growing out of a split in one of the lower branches. I don’t think the juniper will ever thrive, but I suspect it will last as long as the catalpa.
I don’t have any sassafras growing at my Ozark land, which is a shame.
