Research shows that paints/waxes/etc on pruning cuts are more apt to seal pathogen spores IN than to keep them out. Good luck with the Blue Boy, hope it comes back for you! Pat

That way give them a kick on the way to recovery. I hope at least one comes back for ya... ya got a fighting chance!

Should it still be a bunch of sticks or should something be happening?
