What is the black tar type stuff I see some growers put over wounds after a tree has been pruned or grafted? Do people here use it? Can you recommend a brand and some uses?
I have seen that sealant in two forms: as a thick paint and as a spray. In my experience, the spray is great if you need to fill cracks in the bark of a large tree. For small jobs, spray may be too messy. Anyway, it seems as a petroleum-based product... I do not think that a brand would make any difference.
