after some small stumps

[RobArb]

i want to make a little stumpery type thingyo in my garden so i'm on the lookout for some intersting stumps about 2-3' in diameter (roots, not trunk bit) in the lancashire area

 

i know its a big ask as stumps normally get left or ground out, but i just thought i'd ask:thumbup:

Does anyone near you work a coppice, especially sweet chestnut? One I worked, we got all the stumps for the stumpery in a new 'jungle' garden from the woods I was managing.

 

Found loads of really interesting ones with the multi-stems, and some crazy shaped Hornbeam too.

 

Old stems stools that had died and rotted out of the ground over the course of many many years, so easy to get at to without to much disturbance of anything, and enough about to leave enough rotting wood in the glade sides as well.

u need to find a building site which have a 16 ton digger to rip them out thats what u need !

 

a log farmer pulled one out on his land with about 7 foot of trunk and stuck it in the ground up sidedown in the ground for some things to grow up it does look very good !

 

gd luck get some piccy up as well !
