Here we have drilled drain holes below the pruning damage to allow for drainage. The damage here is this cup holds moisture which spreads rot and disease, sometimes all the way down to the root.

 

Once drained we can treat the cup and seal it thus promoting self repair by the tree.

Another example where water has collected in the cup formed by improper pruning or limb breakage. This should be treated soon to save this tree. Call us today and we'll send out our professionals to treat your trees with the care needed.
