This is going to be a really stupid question but as my candy canes split should they tissue cover the entire skeleton or just about an inch below each head? They’re around 50 heads now and the tissue doesn’t cover anything but between heads that are close together and about an inch below each head. No tissue recession recently that I can see. Pics are now vs a few years ago when it was smaller.

About an inch below each head sounds about right.
So the tissue shouldn’t cover the entire skeleton? I didn’t think it should but wasn’t sure. There’s so many heads there’s no way it would have enough tissue for that I don’t think. Plus it’s still splitting so I figure that means it’s happy
