Zombie Trees ...

Earlier this spring we thinned out some of the trees in our woods. And I later used some of the logs as a border around a small fern garden.

And the logs aren't taking it lying down.

Well, actually they are, lying down.

But they are not giving up.

They are sprouting new shoots all along the exposed surface (I've not checked for roots).

Two different species are coming back to life.

It's not all death out here ...
