I also need advice on how to treat this chronic bleeding wound. From
what the past owner said, it bleeds like that every year.

Click the magnifying glass to zoom if you need a closer look.


SWAG - elm - does effluent smell, if so, what kind of smell? Suspect
internal decay. Location could help.

No smell that I can detect though it's not actively bleeding at this
moment.

Location is far south western KY, zone 6B.

From a closer look into the wound, it looks like there is a hole,
unsure if it's deep or not.

Is there anything I can flush it with? I'm going to pack it with
paraffin wax and give it a slight heating to seal it, but I do not want
to seal in something bad.

Also, once sealed, is there anything I can use to clean the bark that's
been bled all over?
