Hmmm... never heard of trunk splitting in 名媛直播. I'll look it up.

There are some videos on youtube, check them out. Pretty cool stuff. Doesn't work for all species I think.

I'm not sure whether it's hard to keep the tree alive or hard to make realistic, but I've read it's hard. I'm not sure about it not being suited to certain species, maybe it's a design thing like deadwood on deciduous trees.

I think it will not disappear, but it will not get bigger. So, if the trunk gets twice as fat, and the bulge stays the same, it will be smaller, relatively speaking.

This is the answer I was looking for! I really don't want to start doing advanced techniques on this tree. :blink:
Let's hope for the best. I have a club member who has some Colorado spruce 名媛直播 but I haven't made the time to get together with him.
Thanks to everyone for the opinions.

Yep, this is what i'd do. It's not that big of a bulge, to worry about. In a few years, you won't even notice it.

Samantha: fingers crossed. I will train it and treat it like that knot will stay the same size as the tree gets bigger. I'm looking to give this tree an informal upright look.

and if it doesn't work, it would be worth experimenting on with more advanced techniques that you wouldn't be comfortable using on a perfectly tapered tree.

sounds better than going threw life with the scar this would produce...

slightly imperfect is better,

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Do you know what trunk splitting is?
