i was just wondering but ye'know after you've pruned off thick-ish branches is their anything beneficial to put on the cuts ? something that'd perhaps speed up healing or prevent infection?
if your wondering why im up so late...i've no idea, my brain just doesn't want to sleep tonight...nor work apparently as i cant for the life of me think of a half decent heading  |

thanks guys, i shall leave well alone so.
two reason i asked is
1 is cos we've finally cut down our Eucalyptus tree (which you may remember i got advice on last year) well it left us no choice in the end, it was being bet around so much in the wind i thought one evening i'd best tie it to the fence to secure it!.....clever me ey!....well.....next morning it was still being bet around by the wind only this time it had the bloody fence blowing around with it! fence was still tied to it only the fence was no longer attached to the ground! so our lovely Eucalyptus tree is now a sad stump about three foot high, fingers & toes are firmly crossed it resprouts though.
2) is i've just pruned my Smoke Bush (Cotinus). last summer i took out a few branches that were getting in the way and my goodness did it absolutely ooze thick sticky sap for ages afterwards! and then the cut area went white! not sure what that was all about tbh? so this year i thought it'd be a good idea to get the pruning done now before the sap starts rising
pity there's nought i could put on them...if nothing else it may have eased my conscience lol  |
