In either case, get some mulch around that tree so you don't go

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.... ;-)

Feeling guilty for suggesting the tree sealer. But doesn't exposing the
heart wood of a tree open it up to serious problems. Yeah, I know, logic
is only as good as its' premise but, what is the premise here?
