名媛直播

In October 2024 I was visiting a local garden centre and at the back of their 名媛直播 display, almost in the dark, was a very sad looking Chinese Elm. The ?soil medium was a very dry basic compost and the tree just had a few dying leaves left. All this for the price tag of ?150!!!!

I took the risk of repotting the tree thinking it was probably not going to make it anyway but a fresh, free draining medium, might ?help the tree to recover. Five months on and you'll see from the photo the future of the tree is looking much more promising but still some way to go before full recovery. My question is on the tree are some deep wiring wounds on the trunk and I wonder what can be done to repair, or lessen this damage?

It has been suggested that I fill the wound with paste which will encourage the tree to heal over the wounds?

For the ?20 I paid to rescue the tree it is great to see it trying to recover.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

No wound paste will not make any difference to wire marks. They are unlikely to disappear in many years, I have a Maple that has had wire marks for over 20 years not guilty)

Thanks for that suggestion I will give it a go later in the year. At the moment the tree is recovering well with plenty of new leaf growth but my plan is to leave it untouched until at least this autumn to enhance its recovery.
