    a good mix of orange oil from rind and beeswax is a natural preservative that I have seen help facilitate wound closure (callous "in rolling") (and also make the exposed surface less hospitable to those elements which might try to invade during the trees' sealing process. Lather it on, and include the union of where the exposed wood is and it's connection to the uninjured part of the tree.

      No no no, urethane is gonna kill it. Bee wax...a drop of citronella oil and sage ash rubbed into it. Then say a prayer and put a crystal in the hole.

    I have a wound at the base of my 4 year old olive tree. Would you know what I can do about it? Hard to find help about this. I can email you a pic of what it looks like

    Mother Nature's Woodboring Beetle may climb right inside your tree and cast hundreds of Woodworms up in it. My tree looked just as healthy as its brothers nearby before it started spliting in half. Woodworms had come and gone in silence leaving the tree standing firewood

    Is there something to heal a tree completely, like say some mix of yohgurt and moss or something? If I punch a hole in a tree, is it possible to heal that hole?

      Tree's do not heal themselves. They callous over the wound.

    I have a tree that I "accidentally" girdled. I had a rope tied to the trunk to help support the tree against high winds and this year everything above where the rope was tied did not bloom and appears to be dead. Should I top off the dead trunk and branches above the girdle? Will the tree survive or should I just leave it alone for a year and see what happens?

    • @johns6704
      @johns6704 Před 4 lety

      I'd top it and hope some of the buds below the topping point grow new branches That might give it some hope.

    • @killuastark1414
      @killuastark1414 Před rokem

      The phloem (tube that transport sugar) was injured and that's why everything above the place where the rope was tied died. How's it going right now?

    What if your dog chews your tree all the way around where there is 1 foot of it without any bark at all (all the way around... i.e. doggy girdled)?

    I have a 5 year old Crape Myrtle. We had a thunderstorm that caused another branch to shear of the a limb on the CM. What should I do. Or can anything be done?

      Crape myrtles are super hardy, just prune out the broken part and the tree will be fine

    but people worry about insect intrusion, like a Beetle. And THAT is where it would attack. I'm no expert, just talking

    Trees SEAL, they do not heal.
    Years ago I got a serious chain saw injury while in a formal arboriculture program. My wound healed. Every layer of skin and tissue, even the nerves grew back. When a tree is wounded, it does not grow back the same way. The bark grows over the wound to SEAL it. All the previous damage is still in the tree. It does not heal the way my chain saw cut did, layer by layer.
    Trees seal, they do not heal.
    Ask a real tree man, not a gardener.
    I am a very good tree man, but not a good gardener. There is a difference.
