Hello - My employer is landscaping and I had the good fortune to collect a
40 year old bougainvillea, about 9 inches diameter at the base and some 16
inches tall. It's potted in a large plastic container, the roots soaked in
a solution of Rootone and Superthrive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as
this will be my first collected bonsai. 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.
TIA,
Kevin
