Fromsome of the books i've read, regular kids clay is a good all purpose mix.I'm trying it and so far this year it seems to be working fine onmy pine, azalea, boxwood and yew. It stays on pretty good thru watering and doesn't get hard and fall off. It's got to be safe for the trees if a kid can play with it,plus you can make it any color you want.Plus it's CHEAP, about 2 bucks for a pound.The other idea I've read, is mixing dirt with the white glue to help blend in with the bark and help with it not being so sticky.
