Ever stitched a stem together?

Got a little too aggressive with this one and split her down the middle. I zip tied it, but it wasn’t holding, so I drilled through the branch knuckles and stitched her back together with bonsai wire. It seems to be callousing over and healing and the plant hasn’t skipped a beat. This is Purple Canyon from Greenpoint in case anyone is wondering.

My Golden Tiger split in 2 after topping and having one of the tent bars fall on it, I tied it together and a week later it was fused and healthy. Sucks when it happens.
