Product to seal cut wound on tree?

[PHAS]

Has anybody on here ever used or know of a good product that can be applied to a cut wound where a branch has been removed to help prolong the decaying process before the tree calluses over?

I have a large beech limb to remove that is weather damaged but it looks like its just going to become another rot pocket!

Any advice appreciated guys

Arborex is what you want mate, it's virtually unheard of but I reckon it will take off in a big way soon.

 

 

Can you not leave a long stub instead of creating a large wound on the main stem?

leave the tree to heal its self.........funny how they have managed it for millions of years:thumbup1:

Cheers stoner ill look Into that! Limb has torn right back to main trunk though.

I wouldn't be bothered usually and let nature do its thing but two other previous wounds on the same level have turned into large cavities so another isn't going to help the structure at all, so just wanting to prolong the life of it really

It is well established that sealing wounds is counter productive and causes more rot not less. Cut it a bit long and let it rot and heal naturally.

I agree.
