TREE AND SHRUB PRUNING SEALER

When you make a cut, you're opening a door for pests and disease. Straight from the Mountain Gardener’s toolkit, here is the actionable breakdown for Tree and Shrub Pruning Seal.

Tree and Shrub Pruning Seal Spray

The "Why": Think of this as a "liquid bandage" for your landscape. When you prune a limb or a tree suffers storm damage, the exposed wood is vulnerable to wood-boring insects and fungal infections. This asphalt-based sealer creates a tough, flexible, and waterproof barrier that shields the wound while the plant heals itself naturally.

The "How" for Everyday Gardeners:

• Clean Cuts First: Ensure your pruning cut is clean and smooth (no jagged edges).

• Targeted Application: Shake the can well and spray a thin, even coat over the freshly cut surface or damaged bark.

• Timing: Apply as soon as possible after pruning for maximum protection.

• Bonus Use: It’s also excellent for sealing clay pots or even small leaks in gutters and roofs around the garden shed!
