"Wound dressings" are no longer recommended, it ( as I
always believed) is not needed. Trees heal themselves fine
without our "help".

and planting *too* deeply will kill the tree.
while rot may be a major cause of failure, one shouldn't have
rot issues if one prunes correctly & doesn't plant too deep.
