:cool: It'll be great to see how this treatment turns out post-chop. I suspect my tree was never sealed properly after a root removal near the base of the trunk, nothing major, but never healed over, just thought I'd ask your experience ;) . It's amazing how resilient and adaptable these trees are...
Cheers, Ryan

You look like you have a nice collection Matthew :tu: I have a sacrifice scar on a fig which has been healing for five years now and i reckon they will be a bit slower in Sunny downtown Melbourne. Good stuff Mate.
