This advice is so helpful. Can you please show us how the bark looks now? Did the branch survive? How often did you have to keep treating it?

I think you just baited the tree for another visit by Mr Bear!

[@patriciaterranova1074]

Liked your treatment. Do you have any images of the trees own repair?

[@michelemcintosh8527]

Hi, my espellier apple tree has crown gall, can I use copper fungicide on it ? Great videos. Michele

[@joannecafiero6287]

can this method work with a young green giant with bark scraped off?

[@healthyhorticulture]

Yes as long as the bark isn’t removed all the way around the tree. I’m assuming you mean green giant arborvitae. They are usually pretty good at healing themselves but a treatment such as this will certainly help them along.

Help- my tree trunk has lots of bark coming off

Do ya have a good way to get rid of that black shit that destroys the plum trees I cut it back once now its back again

[@healthyhorticulture]

That’s called black knot. Prune out infected limbs during the dormant season then spray with daconil, starting as soon as you get flower buds, maybe 3 applications at 12-14 day intervals. Also keep in mind that the native cherry trees are very prone to this disease and can be a source for future infection so if you live in a wooded area keep a look out for these infected trees and remove them if you can.

Boo boo stood there biting it and scratching his back bastards are good for that
