How To Save A Dying Tree!

Hey everyone thanks for tuning in for todays episode! We are going to cover how to prevent a tree from dying! What I have done over the years if I see a dead limb on a tree I remove it (if possible) so that bugs/insects don't penetrate the rest of the tree. Think of trees and their limbs like us humans, if we have a nasty gash or loose a limb if we do nothing about it the infection can spread! Same thing with a dead branch or limb it can be a easy passage into the rest of the tree! So save the trees and cut off dead limbs!

Hi Jay! Thanks for sharing those excellent tips for saving a tree! Great precision felling on that one! I have had to do similar amputations on trees to save the main tree.

Mr Jay!! That's a very good idea to address that dead limb!! Around here by me in central Wisconsin most people that have any amount of property don't ever maintain there trees or land!! So much dead and dying trees its pretty sad!! Stay safe my friend!!

Cheers for the video dude. My tree isn’t looking to well in my garden so I’m going to give it a go.

Very interesting video! It would be awesome to see updates on this tree later 1 year 2 years etc

I know that was a good feeling when you landed that tree right where you wanted it. I don’t think you could’ve done any better. Excellent job!

Keep up the good videos.
As always stay safe and always be kind.

Nice drop bud, here in Connecticut the bugs are attacking the ash like that one and killing them, that’s why dot and tree guys are all over them, ash great wood cut split burn same day 👍🏻

Jay, Did you think about sealing it with pruning sealer? I’ve tried it and also have left it raw like you did. Generally I’ve found that those I didn’t seal became a hollow after about 8-10 years. A spray paint style can of pruning sealer is only a few dollars, and may be worth it. Maybe try an experiment on your channel by doing one each way and checking the healing every 6 months or so.

Ash is awesome firewood. I’ve got a bunch of dead ones here from the emerald ash borer

[Hopper-dqii]

Thank you, very clear
Is there anything you can seal the wound, I have seen something like glue or a dark black cover that some people use. Is it necessary to do that

[gerodnielsen]

Hey there. First thank you for your videos and information. I have a tree in my front yard the only tree in my front yard. Some type of bore bug has got to it. And one of the 3 main column limbs that come off the trunk. Is mostly dead. And a good portion of the bark one fourth of the trunk has fell off and you can see the bore holes. Any suggestions. If the limb can be saved I would love that. I don't think I would want the tree still without it. It would just look like an eye sore.

Stay tuned for next week's episode of Dr. Jay, Tree Surgeon!
I love my trees too. I give them all great big hugs every morning.
Seriously, I do love my trees. Even the Eastern Red Cedars.
Thanks for showing me how to save trees that have a dead branch growing out from them. Do you seal the open fresh wood with anything, or just leave it alone and let the tree heal on it's own?

[traviscover]

I like your new video today you did a really good jop on this tree todsy good jop buddy how wood stove doing

[GeoffreyJerome]

what do you put on the Tre where you cut it or do you leave it bare?

[robertditonno]

Nice drop! Almost like it was made to go around the fence.
