fudged up a bit. was spreading the canopy manually with hands, heard a crack, on e of the 2 main lines had split on the vertical axis. duct tape and prayers.
bro, if you only heard a little crack, you will be fine, i have had a storm tear up one of my plants, she split all the way down the trunk to the ground like a pealed banana, layed her out flat, like she was gone.....i picked her back up, ace bandaged her together, and in a few days she was brand new....folks have to remember that this is one hell of a tough plant! worry not my brother.
i have not showed this technique yet, but i have intentionally done exactly that as a bonzai move.....split and braced the trunk to spread her out......like when a doctor will break a bone, so it heals in an intentional manner...
