Tree Wound Dressing Brushtop 16OZ Brushtop for Trees and Shrubs - Healing Paste and Tree Wound Sealer - Pruning Sealer, Grafting Compound - Made in the USA

So, for some stupid reason my boyfriend, who is a boat mechanic, one day decided he was going to pretend he was also an arborist. With this wealth of knowledge he had some how aquired during his day of playing pretend tree doctor he decided our pear tree needed to be pruned. Well, come to find out he didn't know a damn thing about tree pruning. Guess he didn't pay as much attention as he should've during pretend tree doctor school. I was unaware of his tree chopping intentions until after he had already carried out his back alley, chop shop surgery on our precious little tree. Upon walking out the front door it became very obvious, very quickly. First I saw the large, amputated limb, callously tossed on the ground. After the confusion cleared (at first I couldn't believe that this incredibly intelligent man that I've known for almost a decade had done something do f'ing stupid) I looked up at the tree to see her drooping sadly, entire top half of her missing, on her way to giving up on life after an uneducated monster had committed a horrible atrocity upon her. With tears in my eyes I hugged our tree and promised her I'd make her better and that I'd get the man who had done this to her. With the promise I had just made being the only thing on my mind I wanted to exact my revenge right away. But, thankfully I realized I wouldn't be able to help our tree if I was behind bars so I decided to see if there was a less violent way to solve this problem. I called a local nursery and spoke with someone who actually knew something about trees. He informed me that it was the absolute worst weather for a tree to be pruned in and that after chopping the whole top of her off she was basically "bleeding to death". At that point I was ready to hang up and move forward with my original plan. But, before I could, the nice man on the phone said that all hope was not lost. He told me about this product, which works like a bandage on a wound. So, immediately after hanging up I got on Amazon and thankfully found this miracle product. It arrived the next day and I immediately sealed her horrific wounds. After a couple day she started looking a bit better but there was something else I needed to see before I would consider her healed. It took many long, agonizing, prayer filled weeks but just a few days ago I finally saw the beautiful sign of health I waited so long to see... Little baby pears!!! All over her there are the beginnings of what will soon be huge, juicy, sweet pears. Now that I know she's going to be ok I've started speaking to my boyfriend again. And, I'm thinking about letting him come in the house to sleep tonight. For anyone who thinks I've been too harsh on him remember the initial punishment I had planned for him. So, to sum up how I feel about this stuff... It is an amazing, miracle creating, life saving product. It saved my boyfriend life and more importantly it saved my trees life. If your tree has a serious wound buy this product. *Just a little info in case anyone is wondering why this tree is so important to me... My youngest daughter and I planted her together about 6-7 years ago when she (my daughter, not the tree) was just 4-5 years old. We have watched her grow and every year gotten excited, hoping she would produce pears but ultimately being disappointed when she didn't. We were told she had to have a mate (another pear tree) next to her in order for her to grow pears. We didn't want to risk moving her and there is no room to plant another tree next to her. So, we had given up hope until last year when she finally grew a few etible pears. After talking to a few knowledgeable people and doing some research, we learned that the next year (the one we're currently in) she would most likely produce a lot of pears. We have been patiently waiting since last year and when we thought she would end up dying before finally got a chance to produce a tree full of pears we were crushed. So, as I'm sure I've already made clear, we're very relieved that this story has a happy ending. And, if you're in need of something to heal your wounded tree, buy this stuff... It works!

Needed for gardening with trees....easy to paint on .... protection from pests getting into trees and shrub bark... better price than retail

Great stuff - would do well to indicate thinning solvent. Applicator brush on screw top - very problematic - expect to need other brushes… Actual tar itself material thick and separated from solvent but worked OK patching sapsucker peck holes…

great to heal cut in trees

Has always worked for me.

Has good adhesion, might take a second coat to get full coverage. I had some rot and missing bark on an old lemon tree. Hopefully this will prevent any further loss. It took a little over half the bottle for this tree but it had a lot of area that needed to be covered.

The real deal...During my youth, I would watch my Grandfathers and Father use this treatment if they had to cut limbs from a tree. My sister thought I was nuts, but there was something that told me not to take a shortcut for several limbs I had cut off. I had asked my sister if she remembered this from our youth, and she had no thoughts of it. I, on the other hand, could transport myself back to being about five, watching the guys take the time to make sure the limb wasn't removed in vain. As I did this, I was able to share a few moments smiling as I learned what should be done. Also, it gave me a bit of relief to know that the tree would grow and that a part of me would forever be there.

This product is great. The packaging was poor as when it arrived, the plastic container was cracked and it leaked.

Great stuff to repair the limbs that the deer took the bark off.

Item showed up with a loose cap. Drained some of the sealer.
