My question is about what to do to
avoid hollowed stems from drying or rot where the chops where made (there
are two chops about 12 inches from base). Is there some special treatment
for the exposed part of the trunk that will preserve the trees shape? I
live in Miami, FL.


Purchase "Minwax Wood Hardener" in a round yellow can and paint with this
until the exposed section will not accept any more.
