Thank you Bob.

I have yet to see, whether by microscope or divine intervention anything to the contrary.

However Arborcraft's insistence that I read and read has only committed me further to exactly what you say too. In fact I reckon I know more about this topic now than Shigo and some of the evidence out there is simply too strong to suggest a "wall4" or any sort of barrier occurs at time of wounding by existing cells in the outer location as we are showing here.

Like you though, it is wise to not play the know it all and leave room in the jug for some more water ... just prove it to me that I'm wrong, as I have exhausted all my proof that I am right.

However when some-one suggested the world was round not flat they actually had to sail right around it to prove it ... similar with earth revolving around the sun and not the other way around.
