Red Twigged Dogwoods Want To Live Forever!


Six months ago I asked Offspring #2 if she would mind trimming a few branches off her red twigged dogwood and bring them to me.  I stuck them in a planter for some wintery decoration; some color when the world turns all shades of grey.  Now is the time to pull them out and I was wondering if I should throw them in the woods or on the burn pile when I look close at them for the first time in a long time. Whoa, baby, the red twigged dogwood branches have sprouted leaves!  I did not think that would happen.
