I have a landscaping question. It appears that one of my trees in my back yard has some exposure.?
Posted by admin in Spray on roofing materials on 02 25th, 2010The bark is missing from one of the limbs on one of my younger trees. It is an area off of the main trunk around 6" long and bare to the wood. I do not know if the black pruning spray will help or if there is a material to wrap that area. I am afraid if we have a bad winter it could hurt the tree or be exposed to bugs or disease. I can remember years ago my former neighbor used to put some roofing cement on areas such as this on his trees but I only need a very small amount and want to put the right material on the tree. Anyone with some landscaping experience, I would surely like your advice. Thank you very much.
RScot is talking about bark traceing. I have done this many times. pruneing spray’s should not be used,it will habor insects& diease’s. let the tree heal naturaly.
