Smoke Tree – Jan 2021 creation

Another tree of uncertain origin. I believe I picked it up in mid 2019. At least I’ve got some evidence in my records that it’s a Cotinus Coggygria. I’m going to call it the Smoke Tree, which sounds cooler.

Yup… subtle evidence of the species.

Clean out the roots, and into the pot.

Don’t forget the soil!

And it’s done.

So much greenery.

This has been a confusing fellow. In the pot the leaves all went red, and then dropped off for the winter. By mid spring I was beginning to think it might be dead. But by 28 September 2021, I spotted some buds.

There’s a long road to go.

I don’t have a picture right now, but there’s light coverage. I guess it’s going to need a few seasons to recover.
