Hi,
I received my elm tree last week. When it arrived I was concerned about how it was placed in the pot and I didn't check it out as I should have.
Today I was cleaning it up and noticed 2 cuts in the trunk that were covered in soil. It looks like when wire was put on it for the curve it was left on too long and really cut in badly. I checked and the wire is not in it.
I know I have read that old wounds can be addressed but am at a loss. How should I clean it first? I have cut paste but I don't know if it is possible to make it better because the cuts are deep.
Any advice would be appreciated. This is my favorite bonsai sight and after reading the threads I know the expertise you all have. As you can tell I am new to bonsai, computers and digital cameras but I love it and am determined to learn it all, someday!!
Thanks,

I will try to attach the pictures I took.
