This is a question about Tree Kote, which appears to be somehting like a 
tar and water emulsion. It's marketed for painting over tree wounds. Is 
it good stuff? Recommended / not recommended?  Can it be used for grafting?

I remember the question about a tractor-damaged apple tree a while ago 
resulted in a bunch of recommendations to cut the branch off cleanly, 
but not paint it with anything. Is the whole concept of a tree wound 
dressing a bunch of hooey?
