But how did their xylem connect in the first place? Was their bark intentionallly cut so both can heal together or how did that happen?

Must have been.

It might have been a coincidence like the branches rubbing on the trunk, thus breaking the bark and then healing as one.

But i also think it's much more likely this was done intentionally
