On
this tree one can see what the carving of huge holes in broadleaved
trees is all about. As one can see nature does the main job, not the
person carving. Carving only prepares the ground for nature to let the
deadwood decay in a credible way. Twelve years after carving the ugly
stump the marks of man have disappeared. This is the Fairy Tale Bonsai
Style as it should be in my opinion. A very old tree looking very
natural and so ugly that it is beautiful again.
The
wound was on purpose NOT protected to let nature work. As one can see
trees do NOT die from huge holes in their trunks contrary to what most
people think.
