Interesting. The resin is caused from the tree being infected with mold resulting in a pleasing aroma? Cool. Sounds like and kinda looks like the spalted maple I cut into boards I have in the basement. I guess the difference is mine smells like mold. I made raised panel doors for my kitchen from Ambrosia Maple. The Ambrosia Beetle bores a hole in the wood and the resulting fungus makes distinct markings in the wood. So Tog if you plants the trees how will you infect it?
