Good question. I do not think so.

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.

That would be my recommendation. The slim flux does kill bark. Also
turf. This is the thing. It's better to have one fox in the hen house
than 50 coming in. Wetwood alters the wood to a higher state of
protection. It keeps the other bad guys out. Its a niche. Proper
mulching and other treatments would be good for your tree.

Thanks.. I've read up on mulching the right way since I was already
planning on mulching around that tree and making it more of a showcase
since it's right by the main entrance we use for the home.

I did have a Q though.. Couldn't I wax over the hole where it's weeping so
I can minimize the bark that's being damaged below it?
