It's funny how pruning paint is somehow not good for exposed wood, yet

Decks and other exposed wood which has been cut and milled

Wood on a tree is still alive and growing...

It is best to leave tree wounds alone and allow them to heal
naturally... Exceptions to this logic are rare...

Live Oaks maybe an exception. The pruners here are adamant about using paint
to prevent Live Oak wilt.
