Feb 27, 2012  Concrete Pot Mystery Mr. Tanaka and I were organizing one of the storage rooms today and we came across this strange pot. When Mr. Tanaka first.

I saw Peter Tea do this with a trident.

Having some concrete left over from my pot project, I decided why not.

Heres the hole. This is part of my OG Benjamin. Sentimental practice material, emphasis on the mental. It s In a pot poured haphazardly of hydraulic cement.

There s the taper Im trying to preserve.

Here s my little bag o doo.

If it was in blue plastic it would look more like dog doo. Does every state have those Blue Bags. Or is it just here.

There I left it to harden while I posted the F judge. Oops, lil more water and I cut the side of the bag and squeezed it in the hole like a pastry chef.

A little clean up with a wet qtip.

And that s it. When it sets, Ill update with an edge cutting.

I know this is soooo suspenseful, you must be right on the edge of your seat.

The takeaway..

I m doing this at AM. Before work. On a whole pot of coffee since 2AM.

I m noticing more and more that in order to have good trees you must DO.

Like Tree Barta says.

Do the work

I did the same thing last year with a JM with a hollow that had rotted down to the soil line. I covered with cut paste after. Some areas it s a quite large hollow are rolling over nicely. Others I had to go back and shave back to live tissue this year. Since your working with a ficus, that should heal over quite quickly.

Did this with an old red Maple that had a hole that was starting to rot Hasn t healed over as fast as I hoped. I think I need to add a bit more cement to get it higher, and seal it again with cut paste

Sorry I cant semi quote on this tablet.

Please post some pics here. We can keep track of them.

Peter Tea did a post on this. I did it with epoxy. make sure it is smooth.

I m not familiar with the technique So why do you do this. Stop rotting. Tree also becomes heavier and less chance of wind tipping it over

Show us the pot project.

Seems like it would be easy to remove when the time comes. Also, what a night. Way to avoid routine and monotony, unless of course that s a typical 2 to 5 am for you.

I ve seen this on trees in lawns. It sucks when you cut into concrete with a chain saw. They heal right over the concrete. Can t tell until you start cutting. Devestating on a chain.

JoeR and sorce like this.

Here ya go

The front yes, she is an ugly pig

and the even uglier back with two giant hollows filled with concrete covered over in cut paste I give it 10 years before close to closing over

You can see that the bottom hollow has callused over about 1/4 due to the active branch right above. More branching should accelerate healing at other points as well.

Very nice.

Ugly now, but there is an interesting Trunk line happening there.

Thanks for the look.

Sorry fellas, I missed all those posts between the quotes.

I was just thinking epoxy next time for sure.

I put a small bucket in a big bucket and poured the hydraulic cement in. The small one was cocked on the inside so one side is thin which I busted out for drainage. Real hillbilly shit.

I covered it.

This one might find an outside spot for next summer. Speed this along a bit, and it s my 2nd best ficus.
