damaged branch collar #867173

Asked May 06, 2024, 8:02 AM EDT

Hi,

I removed a lower branch from my Korean maple and I accidentally took of a tiny bit of the collar. Do you think the tree will heal well. Should I put some wound paste on the cut? The branch was skinnier than a pencil. Thanks,

Shella

Don't worry about that slip.  The tree will seal it over  Do not paint anything on it.
