I have never seen bark like that on a BRT. Is that a different variety? How about some close-ups?

Thank you!
Is that what that is? I've never really known why it looked like that. Can you post some pics of yours?
I'll post some when I get home later

This very smooth surface is what I thought was typical. The bark come off in sheets, like a snakeskin, except stiff. The lumpiness at the base are roots.

That's what I thought too. If you look at the pictures on my first post on this thread, that's how it started. The trunk came off in one clean sheet but then over time it started getting knarly and brown.
But if it's a corkbark then I'm all for it!

Here is an update on my BRT after winter indoors.
I actually ended up putting it into the Bonsai Society Of Dallas Club Show last weekend. The pictures never do this tree justice for some reason. It looked much better in person. I moved the moss kusamono and display card closer just for the picture.
Today I noticed that it was trying to shed bark again. It seems like every spring it exfoliates pieces of bark randomly.
I helped it along so it wouldn't give bugs and insects a place to live. I love the contrast of the white bark.
It's staying outside for good now unless we get an unexpected freeze, which is not uncommon in Texas.

I saw your tree in the show--it looked really good! Reminded me of my long-dead Texas ebony a little. Thanks for exhibiting, any show is a lot of work to put on, and I enjoyed seeing all the trees.
