Experimenting with Vasaline

[NFG]

Hi Dean,

 

Thank you for posting, interesting information.

 

We have also used candle wax to protect bark damage from insect & other ingress to some degree of success.

So what is the point of this? Vaseline stops tree wounds healing over?

I think it would be good on large pruning cuts to seal them off while the compartmentalization takes place.

 

That was a big word

If you need to protect wounds ,with out using chemicals ,you could try casters wax and or shrink wrap.This should protect the wound and induce healing.

So not just an elaborate excuse to Mrs L as to why you have a secret Vaseline stash?

 

[Dean Lofthouse]

Why would one require vasaline

 

You've lost me

With success I used Vaseline on areas of bark scrubbed off in road traffic accidents. I consider it keeps cambium initials from drying out.Shrink wrap would work but if in highway urban areas it draws kids attention to it and they would fiddle with it. I have used vaseline on grafts with polythene wraps
