bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Time For A Discussion On Cut Paste

TREENUT:
I've never used any cut paste's on my trees,mainly because I am slack.
The way I see it, trees have been growing quite nicely for millions and millions of years,dropping limbs here and there and healing them selves up quite nicely.
RIP:
Trees in the field that are growing at there strongest will heal quite nicely with just vasoline to keep the wood from drying out.
Trees in growing containers need more help to heal. A tree in a bonsai container will probably never heal with out some kind of treatment or sealing past.

TREENUT:
I think the tree is going to decide how it's going to heal up no matter what you put on it.
RIP:
The pictures that I have posted speak for themselves, I have also given the number of years that that each example represents. Cut past can be a pain but with out it the cuts on your potted tree will likely never heal. Use the wrong past and it can get ugly also. I do not have all of the answers yet but I am still looking and sharing.
Matt: Now would be a good time for you to give us some Idea of which products are best for which trees.
