The only problem is that I just collected it in the fall and not the spring so hopefully it will do ok in the greenhouse for the winter. I just wanted to know should I use a wound sealant on the trunk chop or just let it heal on its own? Last edited by bonsai harry : 29-Oct-2003 at 09:53 AM.

Also you've just collected it and moisture loss is a consideration. Why not seal it? Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

Obviously there are limits, therefore I would seal the chop. As Matt says it will reduce moisture loss, which can only be a good thing.
