My first time seeing this thread. I like it ??Update:
I had some time today so I worked on a few of my trees. This little lady is really liking her new home and I gave her a little trim.

And I may use that JB stuff too. I got a maple in mind.

- Nice. Interesting little tree
- Great pot color for purply flowers - can't wait for next spring's pix!!!
- Who's giving whom a little 'trim'? - maybe your dad will have to tell you what that meant at one time (I date myself, but you know that from when I said I had a wad of ones for taking your pots off your knees).
If it is anything like stellata, you're okay. I forget the exact time, but I think it is toward the end of August. At any rate, stems will end in a fat, elongated bud, very similar to a leaf bud, but somewhat hairy. I just recall trimming my stellata last year and as I was tossing the cuttings have it suddenly register consciously that I was discarding flower buds - I still had two that I enjoyed this past spring. IOW, you'll know flower buds when you see them (if you are conscious).I hope that I get some flowers! I have been crossing my fingers and sacrificed a few beers. Is there a cut off for pruning like with azaleas, I am on unfamiliar territory with this one.
here in the south, it would continue to rot, no matter what you put on it to preserve it.
I am curious if you have ever tried/considered using super glue? I ran across an article the other day talking about how liquid super glue (Cyanoacrylate) will soak into the wood and stop it from rotting. Sounded plausible...a little crazy maybe, but plausible.
I tried super glue. It changed the color of the wood some, and left a glossy sheen the first weeks. Then moisture from the wood fogged the glue, it then looked white like cellophane stuck e the wood. I think there are better products one can use.
It’s been a while, but my recollection is that the two-part epoxy that comes in syringes will not fog from moisture. I saw it used to fix a crack in a fiberglass duck skiff and it stayed pretty much invisible.
