Okay now that I got your attention..Today while transplanting raspberry runners I accidentally uprooted this cutting. I remember all the talk about cutting size and wanted to offer proof that size really does matter... You can clearly see that there are four trees coming from the middle node and one from the top node. All the growing trees were pruned back in the fall. you can see the pruning cuts. Look at the root mass on the lower node.. This cutting was photographed and immediately returned to the ground and covered back up with dirt and straw. This is a brown turkey cutting that I just wanted to do experiments with. I dug a trench dropped in the log and covered it up...Simple yet effective...
Now if anyone wants it and Is willing to come pick it up it I will let it go for a trade...

Problem is that it is a Brown Turkey.  That diminishes the value very significantly. ;-))

If nobody goes for it;  try growing it as a nice 'bonsai' starter fig tree.

Yes jon I agree it has no real value just another experiment.. The title was to get people to look and see that even a tree trunk will root if buried in the ground..There as another thread that said people prefer pencil size cuttings. while I personally prefer thick cuttings finger size or larger...Then again I root most of my cutting directly in the ground and leave them alone for months...

Is there such a thing as "root over log" bonsai? Thanks for sharing!
