Reminds me of the rose cane that the electricians knocked over, last fall: I thought it was dead, but before frost set in, it started shooting up new leaf-clusters from the top side of the prone cane. When I noticed the new leaves, I also noticed that the cane, while knocked over, was still attached to its root-ball. So... Guess we'll see when springtime weather comes.
@ferricoxide @skeletor I choose to believe that these plants are doing it out of spite. Spite can be a powerful motivator.
@ticho @skeletor

This particular rose
is very spiteful. I bought heavy, leather gloves specifically to work with it (it's a very thorny bastard of a plant). In spite of being marketed for especially thorny plants, this bastard's thorns frequently go through the leather. So, "yeah".

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome!

@skeletor There's a tree on the hill in the backyard that was uprooted and knocked down when the train derailed and ripped through the track. To my surprise, the tree stayed leafy and lush all through the summer and fall. I'm eager to see this spring if he survived the winter.
@skeletor mesquite tree? I love seeing branches growing sideways out of the ground, having long outlasted the main tree that's been cut down. Also, they make tasty smoke for meat.
@skeletor just gonna photoshop a skeletor figurine in there. You know what? That's a bold ass move. Respect.
@skeletor Saw one of a smaller scale myself. The tree fell down and only like 20% of the tree was still connected to the stump but that was enough for one of the branches to become the tree and go on living.
@skeletor i see your fell once tree and raise this fell numerous times.
