Abosolutley , I will be taking the hand tools to it sometime this year , I will take some nice pictures when I set up my back drop and nice camera. Will do this when I start repotting everyone !
The bark , well this summer I was rooting around looking for bugs ? on all my trees and found some channeling, after flaking off some bark I found some sort of borers that we’re going to town , so I stripped all the flaky bark off and treated , I had intended on leaving the rough bark on this one and not cleaning /sanding to get the smooth reddish bark, but I didn’t have much choice , didn’t want to take any chances , so the bark isn’t all that pretty yet, but the deadwood and uro feature should make up for it , thanks for the compliments guys ! ? happy ?’s for everyone this year
