If there's a will there's a way! 😂
This is the first tree we found chicken of the woods growing on years ago, and it's still producing from the same spot! 🌳
One day this giant branch will succumb to the fungus and break off. I'm hoping the fallen branch won't get cleared away so we can keep coming back to collect more chicken of the woods! 😋
I have noticed that chicken of the woods infected trees produce fruit sporadically, sometimes laying dormant for up to 3 years! This specific tree last produced fruit in 2022, but sometimes it can produce every year!
We have inoculated some beech logs with COTW plugs in 2022, but have heard it can take many years to fruit and even then it can be tricky to successfully inoculate. We'd love to see it fruit one day🤞
Has anyone had any success with growing COTW, and if so I'd love to hear your methods! 👇
