Bark enhancement
HI everyone,
Can anyone suggest a product to enhance the colour of the bark on my Yew.I have carvings on one of the twinned trunk tree which I have treated with lime sulpur and wish to make the contrast more dramatic by treating the bark.My initial thought would be linseed oil,am I on the right track?
Cheers Colin

Re: Bark enhancement
has the bark been removed such as we see on some junipers that are oiled to enhance the rusty reds against the stark white of the deadwood ?
if so, i was advised to use chamomile oil

oiling bark
Hi Kevin
Thanks for replying.That is exactly the look I am after,though as the second trunk of the tree was dead I have hollowed it out,if I get a chance tomorrow I will post a picture.Chamomile oil sounds good.
Thanks again

Hi Kevin,
Managed to take a snap of the tree.As yet I have done very limited work on refining the foliage/needles as you can see.Thanks again for the info.

colin - might be a good idea to address that first...
the chamomile oiling might be something you do for a show...
i dont know that it should be kept in a perpetual state of "oiled"
(but i could be wrong...)
