it is my
understanding that sealers are out of vogue and that properly done pruning cuts should be left un-dressed.Allan - What do you recommend for such trees as walnut, where the stump of a cut limb may weep copiously for a week or more? Sealant won't stick, charring doesn't work (in spite of my advice to Lily!) and sap seeps out even from the most tightly taped plastic covering. It can't be good for the tree, especially as the leaking sap encourages moulds, but one occasionally has to trim a branch or tidy up a break. Tony N-S.
