  1. Most certainly need to use a sterile paint brush from clean and sterile sealer if you are going to use a sealer at all going from One Tree to the other dabbing the wounds from the same sealer is total failure that's like using the same bandage from one gangrene to the next you have to think of it like a infection surgery on humans you will never get rid of it unless you take better precautions 4 sterilization

  2. Do you find that the chem trails are bothering your fruit trees and veggies…grapes???seems to me after they spray in the next couple days it looks like someone has herbicided all the leaves…my second season McIntosh seems to have died 🙁

  3. We have a magnolia tree, not very big, it has a canker about 1 yard, like 2 inches from the bottom and upward. Previous summer I applied ammonia from a spray bottle. Seems like it helped a bit, but this year there are some more rotten areas inside. I plan to continue with ammonia and try that idea, someone shared in comments about a torch, but I want to ask if that tree can be cured (if the canker is so big, only ~2.5 inches left to the other side of the trunk). Diameter of the trunk is ~7 inches. We recently bought the house with the tree. Thank you for the useful and informative film.

  4. Warm was eating on my red delicious apple tree i did similar and I add some alcohol against any living creatures in there than I put black seal and grafting tape around it .
    Hopefully I got it right.

  5. I would ditch the messy Arbrex applicator & instead use a cheap paintbrush & throw it after use. Could you cut the tree trunk down to healthy wood and then use its healthy branches to implant one or more grafts onto the stump ?

  6. I'm afraid our wonderful Zestar Apple tree may soon be done, after 15 years of sometimes meager , other times abundant harvests. Best apples I ever tasted! But black mold and canker damage on the trunk, ants, woodpecker holes have me desperate to try anything. I've scrubbed with bleach water where I can reach. Question- has anyone successfully plugged up deep woodpecker holes? It has 1 inch green apples started, but I fear it may die before harvest. From Northern Plains USA.

  7. I just discovered a big bunch of orange sap coming out of the main trunk on my peach tree so I'm probably going to have to do something with that too I was kind of wondering if a butane torch would work to eliminate the fungus on the wound instead of using a chisel which seems very drastic
