The wound has been weeping a lot since the stub was trimmed back, quite wet.

 

Was that cut recently? Or a previous wound?

The one I mentioned on the first page, originally cut Nov 2023 but last week inspected and trimmed to the banch collar. It was weeping before but the previous rain had washed it off for this pic.

My original cut was not quite to the branch collar but it has been callousing all around hidden under the bark, it was a steeper angle so I trimmed the stub back.

I got a face full of wet vomit-like soft rotting wood chips.

 

I got a fresh pic today.

 

 

 

This is the bend that I assume snapped when it was young.

 

Did a reasonable amout this afternoon, not started the back corner yet but happy with the house side.
