Badbyte,

I am always interested in experiments. Can you tell us what species of plant(s) you are using and what, specifically, the experiment is designed to demonstrate?

It appears that you are comparing something (conventionally sealed or unsealed?) with this Chinese ink. I don't know if I am familiar with Chinese ink. Is it like a Sumi ink or India ink?

How long have the wounds been in place? Do you have any photos of the treatments? How many wounds are there? Are they on the same tree and are they at alternate sides or one on top of the other?

Regards,

Matt
