Ribes nigrum

Here are 2 Blackcurrant stumps from my own garden. One day I decided to take a closer look at a long row of Blackcurrant bushes growing in my garden, they are more than 50 years old and it turned out that a couple of them had very interesting trunks. The diameter at the soil line is about 25 cm. I collected them in the beginning of june when they were in full growth, but it only took a few days after I dug them up untill I saw new sprouts all over the trunks. Now they are covered in new growth. I have never seen one as bonsai before. It will be ineresting to see if they lend themself to that.
