Wild Pepper Tree: December 2024 maintenance by michaelruschena Posted on December 31, 2024January 1, 2025 Running out of time, so this will be a quick post of the images. Narrative will have to be inferred. Starting point. A rotation. Sigh. I cut the bark back, and applied some paste, in the hope this would heal more naturally. But I’m not very hopeful. I don’t know what the tree is doing here. Is that a root? Or has the bark come loose? I’ll find out when I repot. And done. By ancient tradition.
