Otherwise, tools like rotary cutters, Dremel, etc. just make the wood burr up. You can peel the bark any time; just be sure that the edges of the cut are sharp, and with a juniper a very narrow layer of vaseline (petroleum jelly) over the cut edge won't hurt. It will keep the edge of the bark from drying and peeling back and will last just long enough for the healing process to work.

In most cases you "sculpture" the jin by tearing the fibres of the wood, and this is only possible when the wood is still fresh.

I wanted to know before starting as it is teh good season .. another thing I just checked the plstic container and is a can of roots alive nice thin .. but almost no soil left . I tried to scratch some soil on the surface around the trunk to see how was the neabary under the surface no way it is a network of fine roots.. I was planning to repot next year I d not want disturbs roots right now.. and probaly will switch in a bigger pot for the next monts until spring ,but ... in spring I should trim all roots and put for a while in a flat wooden box... I am always upset with needle trees ,any tip ? Thanks again |
