The picture shows where the trunk was cut. Later new branches was created through back budding.
In stead of healing the scar I wanted to add deadwood at the trunk.
If I wanted to heal the scar, I should have made the cut at the backside, leaving one or more sacrifice branches helping the scar to heal over.
The sacrifice branches are later cut off or shortened when their purpose has been fore filled.
I waited until new branches was showing through back budding before i carved the trunk, in order not to destroy future branch possibilities.
