This is not a discussion about whether or not it should be there, for this tree it is there. This is one of the first trees I "collected" when I first started so I have a slight sentimental attachment to it. By my rough estimation it is around 40 years old. This rotted out section is not my doing, but I did chop it a bit too much at the same time I dug and moved it (about 12 years ago) so I have what might be issues up top as well. I dug it out and potted it recently then started cleaning out the dead stuff, not expecting this crater. Had I just trenched and pruned it I would have a beautiful tree right now, but I actually put it a worse spot because "I knew better"...
I am going to use a hardener to preserve what is there, but how do I dry it out first without hurting the live parts? I don't mind losing the dead bits, but I do want to keep the plant side intact.
