Honestly I clicked this video on accident since I already know how to do a bridge graft but I just really like this guys positive energy so I ended up watching the whole thing

Sir, This is most useful video. Indeed bridge grafting is very difficult. It is a very common problem with trunks getting damaged whole or side by any cause. In my case it has happened in one low chill Anna apple pas powdery mildew attack is very severe in heavy monsoon climate here in India. Wonderful. Thanks a lot. Keep it up. God bless. Welcome and heartiest regards. 👌👍❤️🙏🙏

What is the wax product that you used?

[@biancatyler56]

Would you try and save a tree where a vole girdled the entire bottom of the tree to the roots? Or is it likely not to be successful at all when the girdling is down to the roots.

You can graft one end of the bridge scion into the top part of the roots. You have nothing to lose by trying this. The best method is coat the chewed damage by voles asap with a sealer of some sort to keep in the moisture PLUS do the bridge grafts. Sometimes the sealer allows the bark to regrow and the tree is saved even if the bridge grafts fail. I use a honey like sealer called "Green Earth Pruning Seal", but there are several out there.

Hi , I have three 3 year old guardian aspen trees girdled by voles this winter under the snow here in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. Does Bridge grafting work on trees that are not fruit trees?

[@Veritas-dn6ss]

I haven't tried but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with aspens.

Can Vaseline around bottom of tree help protect from voll damage

[@jwcarlson]

Did they take, Dr. Nikolai? I've got a situation with my 10 year old tree right now and I'm going to try tackling it tomorrow.

[@Veritas-dn6ss]

Yes, they took and saved the trees.
