It only took me 4x times to get these castings right, but it was sooo worth it. The twigs are most likely Siberian Elm, which are very common along the Front Range, or Chokecherry from my backyard cherry tree. I gathered them a while ago so I can’t be positive, but I definitely know they’re from Colorado🏔️\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat’s even cooler???
