Nice one Hans.

Not the IBC Mugo I hope!

I think Walter Pall starts the odd fire deliberately to get cracking and distressed wood.

I over did it with the blow torch on a Cedrus Libani candelabra type tree a few months ago.

Scorched all the foliage (which has all re-grown nice and small btw) burnt the top and jins so bad that I had to reduce the height by 2 inches and make new jins from tree roots to glue on.

Looks OK though
