Healed scars or wounds on Deciduous

[leatherback]

I believe rescarring is perceived as speeding things up because it's creating a "scar on a scar"

I think it also depends on the species, and the location. I have a few large cuts on an eonymous. These only started to really grow over it once I tickled the old wounds. Now I do this every spring and it makes a big differen

For anyone interested.. I came across these pictures in one of my books.

Here's a picture of the scar before it was fully healed.



Here's the same scar, fully healed, after 10 years (picture taken in 2008)

I am amazed how well some of you can deal with scars. That's a good thing as multiple scars are not a pretty site.
But I have to say, I love a good scar, whether on a bonsai or in the forest. It is a tale being told by the tree.

I totally agree. Different trees respond....differently. But there are similarities.
