Hi Jacob!

I have an email request in to the city counsel for permission to take cuttings from that tree. If that happens, I probably won't take cuttings until late December or early January. I'll let you know what happens but you would have to teach me, on what to do, taking and shipping cuttings so they get to you in good shape. You can always PM me as my message icon should show on my profile.

Bill , yes it does,,,,jacob not so much

Hey Bill

Cool. Maybe we can trade cuttings. I’ll be in touch this winter.

plantkiller- I don’t understand your comment to me. What is “not so much”?

I set mine for 'anyone can message', that way, they can message but I can choose who I answer. bwahahahaa! :-))

Thanks for the help with that. people should be able to message me now.

On a biking trip, along the trail, I noticed brooms (same species J.v.). The good part is it's on public land. The bad part is, it doesn't appear to be a single growth, like a threesome, climbing up the tree. I wonder. does this positively mean it's a viral morphism?

Adding to the confusion, is the fact that within the distance of a mile along the same trail, I found a few more J.v.'s with brooms. None of the trees were right next to each other, possibly 500 to 1000 ft apart. So I wonder if these close enough together so they would be viral in nature also.

About 700 ft. later, was a single, smaller specimen and if I had not seen the others, I would've thought good deal, perfect broom find.

Further down the trail, another: Harder to see, almost covered with wild grape vines (center of picture) was a compact tree like growth.

This last one is difficult to see also because of vegetation mixed in but it appeared to have two brooms, one left center and one to the lower right,on the same tree, both quite large.

So what do you all think? Too good to be true?

Worth driving 75 miles, possibly trudging through deep snow for up to a mile, in the cold winter to recover? haha, hope that doesn't happen.

Just for the record:

I never did receive an answer to my email from the city counsel and with the tree residing in a city park, I decided to forego the jail time and reconsidered taking cuttings there. ;-)

There were so many brooms in the area along the bike trail, on the surrounding trees that I figured they were viral in nature so decided not to waste time trying to root them.

I did try to fill a late request from family members to root species J. v. but it was so cold by then that the brittle, frozen branches I prepared for the chamber never rooted.
