Any thoughts on amount of water vs severity of trunk fissures? In other words, will lack of water and slow growth cause more fissures, or pouring on the water....





Trunk close-up...


I have a friend who is growing one of these in his lawn which gets watered regularly and it has a wonderful base, though the fissures are perhaps not as deep as others I have seen in water-deprived specimens.. hard to make any conclusions from this one case, but at least the plant has not had any rotting problems.
