Scars from hail damage
About 6 weeks ago we had a really bad hail storm with stones so large they cracked several of our windows. Sadly they also did a lot of damage to my trees. They are growing back strongly now and I have been able to remove most of the damaged leaves as well as some of the branches that cannot be saved. However, there are nasty scars on some of the trunks which are too low to remove, and in one case there is even damage to an exposed root.
Is there anything I can do to make these scars look better? Will their appearance improve in time, or are these trees ruined forever?
Before you feel too sorry for me let me add that I don't have any seriously decent trees - these are all pretty much pre-bonsai, but I care about them just the same.
