Should I Seal My Tree After It Has Been Cut?
January 19, 2023
Is sealing your tree the right thing to do?
Sealing a tree used to be a common practice, but it's not good for your tree. Sealing a tree after it has been cut can potentially be harmful to the tree's health. When a tree is cut, the wound is exposed to the elements and can become infected by disease or pests. Sealing the wound with a sealant can prevent the tree from properly healing and closing the wound, which can lead to rot and decay. Additionally, sealants can trap moisture inside the wound, which can also promote decay. It is best to avoid sealing cuts on trees and instead allow the tree to heal naturally. If you are concerned about the health of a tree after it has been cut, give us a call.
RIP and condolences to the family. Chipper accidents don't just happen. This is what happens when you put inexperienced people on the job. You literally have to throw yourself into the Chipper for this to happen. Most of the workers here at Brown's have been doing this for 10-20 years. Most homeowners do not realize that if a tree care worker gets hurt, they are the ones held liable. Make sure whatever tree service you pick has a specialized policy for tree trimming. Accidents can easily cost a homeowner 100K to 1M. https://local12.com/news/nation-world/woodchipper-shredded-death-worker-landscaper-landscaping-pulled-sucked-inside-into-intimidator-malfunction-malfunctioning-defective-lawsuit-family-killed-died-kill-kills-work-cemetery-graveyard-tree-trees-wood
