Ping Ophelia
Sorry, Ophelia, I've tried to look at that first plum pic, but can only
get tinypic ads and not your image. Will try again on JD's old thread later. Hope to see you there. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

I thought it was even more torn than that but, once you start pruning all the stubs out, you will either recognise another bad tear (if it's there), or have pruned all the bad stuff out. You can see from your pic how a bad cut dies back instead of healing over. If you don't cut back to the collar, that tissue damage will keep dying back until it meets the collar. Although collars do heal when the cut is correct, a very bad case of dieback can just keep going. In this case, it will enter the trunk:~(. This is why it's so important to make the cut in the right place. Good luck with your pruning. Don't worry about using a sealant paint on the cuts you leave (they're as capable of sealing gremlins in as sealing them out); just keep your tools clean as you work - and after you've finished. I'll look in later just in case you have any worries. Lovely sunny day here, so I'm off to mow my lawn. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

The picture was perfectly adequate and served its purpose. Your manners seem to be out of focus, though, and do not serve you at all well. -- Spider.

Can you tell us what it is you use? |
