drunken Blue Atlas Cedar

    I am sure that these plants can be very elegant, but I'd describe mine as more of a 'Slouching Atlas Cedar', and the rickety crutches holding its arms up don't help with the aesthetic appeal either.  image

    Hmm, I can tell that you don't really like it do you?  Chop it down and use the wood for something usefu - at 45cm diameter it's just about big enough to make something out of - are there any wood turners near you?  They're often on the look out for out of the ordinary varieties of wood to do things with - in the past I gave an old laburnum tree trunk to a wood turner who used if to make various things, giving me a bowl made from the tree in exchange.

     Thanks sotongeoff. I've had another go and it is working now. It wasn't working for me a couple of days ago.

    Dovefromabove, the trunk is 45cm in circumference, not diameter. If I dried it out it  might be useful as firewood in the wood burner, but being cedar it probably wouldn't produce much heat.
