Here's something fun I did by accident but it turned out well. I was weeding
a bed and there is a goldenrod in the center of it. It was a cultivar, don't
have the name just now, but it had grown about 4' tall and was sprawled out
over the ground. At the same time I have been clearing the understory at the
edge of the woods--lots of honeysuckle bushes to cut down and shred. Well, my
shredder only takes about 1 to 1-1/2" branches, so I have some sturdier
branches I tossed aside to saw up later. I noticed one in a good lenth with a
fork at the top, so I anchored it in the ground in front of the goldenrod and
then just propped the goldenrod up behind it. It looks like an unusual small
tree with a sturdy 2" diameter woody trun, but the goldenrod plant at the top.
I'm going to use this treatment every year from now on.
