BTW, what sort of size are we looking at here?

Thanks and good luck.

First of all thanks for the kind words. This is the first piece of raw stock that I have spent any significant money on, and I hope it has a great future.

This tree is about 8" soil to the top currently. I think it will eventually be 10 to 12 inches tall once the new leader is chosen and developed!

The hollow at the base may be extended up to the chop scar above. If you look at the picture of the buds you can see a small hollow even at the back of the tree. They may some day become one...

So do you think that the buds are safe now? Is there anything I can do to assure the health of this tree?

Thanks so much for your help,

Matt
