That was 5 years? nice callus but still big wound. Black rubber tacked over can allow more scarring interior.

Was just a wood edge self seeded beech.

Unlikely to have any affection lavished on it.

 

Any shots of the results from covering ?

Dujesieffken's work; where's that go...

I have looked carefully at some of these in the past. You can see even early on that they can join up and provide useful food and water transportation routes aiding recovery and even more growth.

 

Even though it can attract pestilence early drying out of cambium initials can be offset with vaseline and greaseproof paper. I have done this on traffic accident tree trunk damage. No idea how really effective it is but recovery has been seen.

 

Has anyone done any thing similar? Vaseline and greaseproof paper is a bit obvious, though these sort of RTA's are often in rural areas. I think I have used polythene as well.

I may do an experiment with this tree and cover one section in black tarp and leave the other section alone.

Both sections would need to be facing the same direction, or south ?
