Scots Pine #35
Scots Pine #35 - Improving trunk movement of a very old Scots pine. The time now is very good for this operation - at least in my area. The greasy stuff is milking fat, very cheap very effective , will go away by itself after a few months. This fat is for the tits of the cows just before milking.This kind of operation is not really as risky as it looks like. But there is , of course, always some risk involved in this kind of thing. It would not be a good idea to cut off unneeded foliage or even start seriously styling the crown. The tree has to rest a year and then we will see.
