0 Conv3rgence Posted February 28, 2016 That's a Scopulicola. It looks far to healthy to be randomly growing in the wild and was probably someone's property that you have taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Strontium Dawg Posted February 28, 2016 Hang on to it, or at least the tip piece. Scops are nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted February 28, 2016 I'd say definitely plant it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Conv3rgence Posted February 28, 2016 Thats a great find then, you should plant it. Just make sure the wound is calloused nicely first. With big pieces like that you can accelerate the callous hardening with a bit of morning sun on the end. Big scops look quite majestic, its a keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
