I am intrigued at the bark discussion. I am not sure how old my cedar is but reading this thread- it may have a few years on it; here's the bark. IMG_3197.jpegIMG_3196.jpeg

This tree makes me feel like I almost have a bonsai to add to my collection of pre-bonsai!
Seems they start cracking bark at 40+ years.
Mike sounds about right , Cedars certainly take there time to bring out some of there timeless beauty.

Fantastic material Mathew. Now.... what are your plans?... :lol:
:lol: Mike just a haircut for now and some wire removal and repot before spring. It hasent been repotted for some years . I contemplate sometimes about maybe jinning a branch here or there then I go find something else to do. I have a picture of it somewhere from the early 80's .
