5 minutes of my time once a year is the least I can do for the advice i got 😉

another year went by...

 

Hi,

Just want to thank everybody for the advice.
We are 1 year later and the tree is healing fine.

I attached a picture, I though you guys would appreciate it 😉
and I'll try to take one next year too.

Thx Paul,

I know what to do this weekend ?

Hi,

Thanks for the advice!
I cleaned out the wound so it's self draining.

I also read about treating the naked wood with mandarin oil and bees wax to prevent rotting. is this something you can encourage?

I was also wondering if should remove the smaller branch on the edge of the wound.
 

Hi,

Last night a storm passed by and a major branch broke of ?

It seems there was already a problem with the branch and I was wondering if this needs any special treatment? Because I don 't want that the upper part of the tree will break off over time

As I recall correcrly, the tree is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidambar_styraciflua

Any help would be very appreciated, because I don't want to lose this tree.
