If Junior breaks off a low branch of the willow tree in the back yard, or if the neighbor's cat sharpers his claws on the trunk of your small apple tree, those wounds may appear insignificant to the uninitiated: But the person familiar with tree surgery fundamentals will recognize a broken branch or a cut in the bark may provide an opening through which moisture and insects may bring decay and disease that can cause death to the tree. The first principle of tree care is prevention of tree wounds, according to George A.

These stubs invariably rot and frequently carry the deterioration into the heart of the tree, where it is much more difficult to check. On the other hand, if the cut is made close-uand waterproofed, the bark grows around the edges in such a way as to effect complete healing of the Wound.
