I have an idea for this tree stump. Is it a terrible one? Zone 7a.
We just had an old, long dead maple finally cut down in our backyard. Frankly, we couldn’t afford to grind the stump out so here I am.
I have an idea!
I would like to put a large ~30inch terracotta pot (because I already have one lol) on top with a hardy, flowering, perennial shrub (I’m thinking rhododendron?). I thought I could break out the bottom of the pot and put some large bore holes in the tree stump to allow the shrub’s roots to infiltrate the ground as the stump breaks down.
Is this feasible? (If so I’m welcome to recommendations for plants that would be suitable).
Either way, next year I’m going to make a flower bed around the stump, so worst case scenario I’ll put a bird bath or feeder on top of it.
