I'll admit, I haven't been the best owner. I had a long cross country road trip where the initial bend happened. The top was still dark green and I was saying slight growth so I thought he could recover fine and end up with a cool scar. But now he's turning pale and has a slight bend lower to his base I just observed. What is the best course of action? Chop him up and plant the top bits?
