He began with "most of you probaly know that with certain species, you need to cut a bit past where you wanted the cut to be. This will allow for the die back that always occurs."
He said that the main reason for dieback of a branch that was cut is caused by "germs".
Lysol kills 99.9% of all germs, will disinfect the cut area allowing for the natural healing process to begin, and with using Lysol, the healing is much quicker.
Also he says clean your tools with it after every dead branch cut, and between trees.
He said that we should use Lysol on all species, and that only certain species will need aditional "cut paste", like bougainvillea.
He has been doing this for around 15 years ans swears by it.
