#1: Re: [IBC] Healing wounded bark on a Japanese Maple

I try to leave the scar alone. If it's raised a lot and looks real bad , I
trim off the raised areas making smooth against the branch. , eventually it
fills in

I'm guessing it was from a wiring scar. I tried leaving it alone and it got
bigger. I tried some Minwax since the heartwood was exposed to help the tree
while it healed, it got bigger. I now have the edges coated with vaseline to
avoid the cambium from drying out and it seems ok.
Is there anything else I can do ( or maybe NOT do?).
Many thanls for all the tips over the years,
