Thanks for posting, however, not a very good article.

The only problem is the wounds they are showing are the result of a wound
from an ijury and not the sun.
They also fail to tell you that when you wrap the trunk it tree wrap it
reduces photosynthesis and the production of food for the plant. Wrapping a
trunk when moving a tree is a great idea but tree wrapping young trees
reduces food.


So you are drunk on new year eve right? Why post this crap?

Wrapping tree trunks stops photosythesis. Hmmmmm where does photosynthesis
take place in the bark of most trees? How is this important compared to
photosynthesis in leaves?


Tree Wrap http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/T/tree_wrap.html

"Tracing the bark around the split can be very helpful in aiding wound
healing" The problem with this statement is that tree wounds do not
heal!!!! That is like saying I photosynthesis. Silly for sure.

"70% alcohol" Not a good idea at all. It lubricates the pathogens.


What! 70% alcohol would be lethal to pathogens. Oh wait on . What exactly
do you mean by pathogens? It lubricates them. Hmm , so they slide up the
trunk perhaps? How much lubrication have you had today?

You show signs of being out of your tree.
