In mid December I checked out the green waste bin looking for potential art materials. Saw a sweet little oak cutting. I snagged it.
Looked like a wee stump with a few twigs. Thought that it might be fun to use in a piece. Popped it in some water hoping it would prevent it from drying out before I had an opportunity to look at it closer. It has been growing new leaves, no roots. Pretty sure this is not a tree that can be propagated in water.
Last week I moved it upstairs. I thought it would get better light during the day.
I totally forgot to water the little oak one day. It requires loads of water.
Unfortunately, it’s started to lose leaves and some of the twig-like branches died.
I pruned the dried dead bits.
I think the green section may survive. How, not sure.
This leaf gave me pause.
Nature offers amazingly beautiful gifts!
