I have a dear friend that has an old pear tree that has been girdled this 
winter by horses.  Long story, but the owners of the pear tree are quite 
upset.   I thought I would try my hand at saving this tree by bridge 
grafting.  I am relatively new at graftng , I was successful with bark, 
banana and whip grafting last year, but haven't tried bridge.

I have read about it on several websites, but still can't figure out if I 
need to put some type of wound dressing on while I am waiting for the proper 
time to graft?

Any helpful hints are appreciated..
