He did use a mix of fiberglass strands and concrete for the bark. We'll use a similar setup for construction projects occasionally depending on what our structural engineers call for in their specs.

When I was studying glass design we would make molds out of a mixture of plaster and fiberglass. it's surprising at how much strength that stuff adds to a mixture.

Shows how much I know. I didn't know fiberglass was ever used in mixtures of other materials. I've only ever done the straight up layering of it with resin. I made fender flares for a buddy's old Jeep Cherokee a few years ago. Was fun to do, but also a lot more labor intensive than I expected (I watched a few videos, said "That looks easy; I can do that!").
