The texture looks good. What I don't really like are the knots. I think you could improve them by at least showing a core and in regards to your texture I would expect cracks in those kind of knots. However the texture you used for the knots isn't what I would have used as "clean" knots would show very clean rings. In your case the rings would be more of an oval shape and the core out of center as the branches came out in an ankle. You could achieve this easy with gentle knife cuts.

Just something like this:
