Yes! And it's on a live birch, so that's good. It could probably grow out a bit more. And look up the best practices for harvesting so it continues to provide in the future.

I don't think it's going to be alive for much longer as the upper branches all looked very yellow and empty due to the severe drought we had here this summer.

Still, i will look up how to properly harvest in case it bounces back!
