[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1512212, member: 18945"] Well, my expertise is actually in killing trees, not saving them but from what I have seen, the outer bark does not transport nutrients in either direction. It is just there to protect the vascular system of the tree and that system lies further inside the tree. from what I re,member from my little foresty class on how to kill a tree, the following picture is accurate. I know on pines, sweet gum, and tallow trees, I can skin the outer bark off all the way around, even on young gum & tallow with thin smooth outer bark, and apply herbicide and it will have zero affect on the tree. You have to cut into the xyleum and phloem and apply the chems there to kill the upper tree and the roots. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://s20.postimg.cc/8tgiviyz1/tree_stuff.jpg[/img][/url] I would think you would want to do some kind of repair if the skin is showing, to keep it and the inner parts from drying out and keep insects out. I have in years past seen repair jobs done on pecan orchard trees with mortar mix and some kind of black looking stuff, which looked like tar. The following is from an older instruction on tree repairs and there may be better ways today.
