It is doing really well OC. I think you need to concave the old chops though.

Looking at maybe carving out where the cuts are an down the trunk a bit i think it would suit the tree if i leave to heal over may not look right i think

Worked on this tree today an made a grow box

this is my daughters tree took a while to wire up but its looking good

The big cut at the front will be carved out at some stage. Also planning some changes which are shown in other picture the second trunk isnt right so plan on fixing this season should get some shoots in the right spot when we cut it back a bit

We plan to hollow the area where the big cuts are looks like theres about 1-1.5cm dead strip going down to the base but not sure so letting the tree settle more but if there is ill carve down following the dead wood

the second trunk was to straight an its first branch to high so was lucky enough to get a lower shoot if tree grows like it did last year the main structure of the second trunk will be complete by the new year
