Question 1

Will this be flexible enough as the tree grows?

Accepted Answer

You will probably want to add more as the tree grows.

Question 2

Approximately how many grafts will a 32 ounce jar do? I am new at this.

Accepted Answer

hard to be specific depending on your needs.  i used it twice on a space of about 6" x 9" on a damaged truck (bob cat hit it) and still have a little left over.  does appear to regrow tree under it but can't really definitively verify this.  painted on heavy both times.  can wash out in heavy rain before it cures.  once cured seems to stay in place (about a week).  does sometimes harden somewhat  when stored.  put the jar in a pot of very hot (not boiling) water for a few hours to soften it out.  seems to last for a long time.  bottom line, works well.

Question 3

I'm in need of a product to put on a pruned branch that will prevent anything growing back in the future, is this it? If not what is?

Accepted Answer

This product Protects pruned branches so that New growth can hopefully begin again, under the pruned area.  Check with local nursery if you want to stop growth altogether !

Question 4

I had a co-dominant trunk cut off a red maple. Approx 12 inch diameter. Will this product protect a cut that large?

Accepted Answer

This a a really good product. I have used it for covering areas as large as 6" in diameter. It quickly forms a healing skin. What will hinder it working is excessive sap that won't let  Tree Kote form a skin as it dries. This may not be what an arborist would tell you to do, but I once had a Maple with a would that had sap flow. I took a sturdy paper shop towel and cut a patch the size of the tree wound with 1/2 inch overlap. I laid it over the wound and then quickly covered it with Tree Kote. The covering dried and stopped the flow of sap. When it had dried thoroughly by the second day. I added a second coat of Tree Kote. It held and the tree is healing. That might work but with the large area. I know they make this product in 1 gal. containers. You might want to contact Walter E. Clark & Son, Inc. in Orange, Conn. for their advice. Try to get the cut covered as soon as possible.
