Michael,

Could you explain your Superfeeding schedule? Interested to know how
often and how much people feed their tree's

Thanks,
Tom

If the grooves are deep, shave the raised edges to the point where they are flush with the branch, fill the groove with cut PASTE, and then cover the entire wound with cut PUTTY. Allow the putty to be enveloped by new bark. Maintaining a Superfeeding schedule this year will accelerate the healing process.

This technique should eliminate the wound. If not, look for a suitable bud to develop a new branch, or graft a branch in the vicinity.

Cordially,

Subject: [IBC] Healing wounded bark on a Japanese Maple


Greetings:

Anyone care to share tips?

I'm guessing it was from a wiring scar. I tried leaving it alone and it got
bigger. I tried some Minwax since the heartwood was exposed to help the tree
while it healed, it got bigger. I now have the edges coated with vaseline to
avoid the cambium from drying out and it seems ok.

Is there anything else I can do ( or maybe NOT do?).

Many thanls for all the tips over the years,
