Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

In either case, get some mulch around that tree so you don't go
near it again with that weedwhacker, and make especially
sure it goes into the winter deeply watered.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I wished I'd read this thread
before purchasing and applying the tree sealer. Oh well, we'll see
how it goes. Thanks again.


If you like belt and suspenders, early next spring you can still
bridgegraft
over the cut. But do be careful to water this summer and fall and please
get that mulch on. And around other trees you may have, too. Makes a big
difference in the amount of lawnmower blight you see.... ;-)
