Tanglefoot Tree Wound Pruning Sealer & Grafting Compound

Don't use it a lot, but when I do, I know I am protecting the trees I love.I prune my peach trees to increase yield, so want to keep them healthy. Yum!!!

I have no complaint. It does what it suppose to do. I cut, I paste, and it stays on forever. Great product.

Stays put and goes on quickly

This stuff is pretty amazing. First year using it and really impressed. I used for gnawed tree barks, pruned sections, and on some of my damaged squash vines where rodents chewed away at (but not severed!). Plan to try on squash again to see if it will repel borers. Will try to update with results of that experiment.It covers the wounds in a thick paste that dries pretty quickly. This pasted-on scab keeps valuable moisture in the plants' vascular systems and pests out. It will NOT prevent additional damage to the area, so re-apply if you see repeated visitations by rodents. Its purpose is to seal, not repel. Seek other methods for rodent and pest control. Read directions first before using. Trimming up damaged areas is important and will make spreading it easier but not smooth, nor aesthetically pleasing. You want to make self-healing for the plant as easy as possible, and trimming will give a neat and tight seal so the plant can begin repairing right away.You are supposed to stir before applying, but I only stir after sitting for long periods. You will notice a liquid start to build up and that's your sign it needs another incorporating mix. Freshly mixed, it goes on fairly easily. It's a bit of a hassle to 'spread around' as it's not smooth. You will get used to it, though. Use an old paintbrush and rinse out immediately after every job; not necessary between uses unless the build-up on bristles is impeding application.I've used it numerous times and it's really going a long way; about 1/4 to 1/3 of it gone across 2 trees over 8 months. It's a little slower to go on when cold but can apply in cold or heat. I store mine in an unheated shed.As the patches age, they will chip off as the bark expands, flaking away with no lasting effects on the tree and no visible traces other than the trees' own histories recorded in mended bark.Wonderful product.I also use their Tanglefoot insect barrier for one particularly ant-prone tree. High sun exposure will cause it to need more frequent applications, but a little goes so very far with that, too.

Really works well on the roses sending up sucker stems. When applying this, make sure to dab it on thick and beyond the cut so new suckers can't come through. Very happy with this product; shipping was fast, too.

Like I said, we have no idea how well the stuff actually works, we just put it on the tree and we have winter yet to go through.. I live in Western New york, it is January 2023, even though this area has gotten anywhere between 80 and 100 inches of snow already this winter, for the last 2 weeks it's been 50° out everyday and we have absolutely no snow.. we had temperatures anywhere from 63° all the way down to-20 with a wind chill well into-40 or -50... that's what caused the damage to my weeping willow in the first place was all of the thawing and freezing thawing and freezing.. and now since I put this tree stuff on, and removed all of the Dead bark, I could see that some kind of bugger Beetle got in behind the bark and ravaged the tree also.. so come springtime what when we actually have sustained temperatures above 60°, and there's no threat of frost or snow anymore, I will take all the bandages off of the tree and see how well this product survived underneath tree wrap.. if my weeping willow is still alive, I'll come back and give you a really thorough review until then make sure you order a large enough can and for God's sake, wear gloves when you apply this to your tree... you get the stuff on your skin, you're going to be removing it with nail polish and gasoline

Lo use una vez y parece que es bueno

I had a mango tree on the Big Island that would not produce fruit so I learned about topdressing from a Youtube video. It showed that it is best to seal a cut trunk or large limb to keep rot and insect pests out of the cut surface. I used this on the mango tree and it worked well. A year later the tree is doing great and the sealer is intact, despite being a thin layer. I can recommend this to protect any large cuts on a valued tree.
