Hi,

My advice, saw it off as clean as you can, so it can heal over. A jagged splintered hole will not heal properly.

Do not paint it with anything. Let nature takes it's course.

Subject: [NAFEX] Damaged trees

<br><br><br><br>My fruit trees are sited next to the hay field. The neighbor puts up hay on a share basis, and forever there has been no problem. Until today. He ran into one of the apple trees and tore off a branch of about 5" diameter, ripping it OUT of the mother branch at the junction. The wood is splintered three inches or more into the main branch--I pulled chunks out and can stick my finger in there. I pruned it off as best I could, but it is so splintered and the bark around it is so loose I don't know how to help it heal. He skipped a tree, and then skinned a pear tree, knocking off a chunk of bark about 1/3 of it's diameter, and abourt 5" tall. Young tree. What's the best way to "fix" it? Have put up a temporary fence to warn him off the trees when he returns to ted and bale. <br><br>_______________________________________________<br>No banners. No pop-ups.
