Yamadori
Hello everyone, I start this thread because I was a bit unsuccessful in finding info about this.
I recently acquired a Japanese Red Pine, of yamadori origin, with a spectacular shari that runs over the whole lenght of the trunk (I will follow with some pictures).
The question I have for you is if it's normal that I detected a bit of resin bleeding from the trunk, in correspondence of the limit between the live vein and the deadwood. I read that if you carve the shari on pines yourself it might create this situation, but this should not be the case, as it's a very old yamadori.
Is it possible that the bark has been worked on recently, as the 'bleeding' is only from certain spots and not on the whole lenght of the live/dead line (few spots, and the quantity of resin is very small).
Since it's a very thin bleeding, should I let it go (it's extremely hot now in Italy, 35-37C during the day, perhaps the sap pressure inside the tree is very high?).
Let me know what you know about sap, resin, shari, pines and the whereabouts!
Thank you as usual!
