exposure.


Hi Jim
but how can sap flow into such dry bark , I expected to
find something more soft & juicy 2-3 mm thick

The wood itself should be immediately under that very thin
layer.

when Iu cut in with a knife it looks like to cut into
wood not bark .. after that live"veins* are formed how long
will it takes before they thickens, any idea ?

Thanks
