It looks as though the tree is sealing off the wood and healing but I was concerned that the tree was stressed and that the trunk was cracking.. I didn't know what it was.. apparently this is normal at the graft union or that is what I was told by ksu pawpaw research Facebook page.. the tree is growing well despite the initial start in the season where it was looking sick but now that I saw that cracking trunk I was like "What the hell is this?!" lol
Hi! Hello Eric, thank you very much for your reply! The ones that i think will produce next year will be the sunflower and prima. My two sunflower trees gave flowers but falled for the first time this year. Next year i shoud be more lucky i hope! I didnīt know they could crack! I didn't see that on my trees... at least untill now!
