Tree Bandage^® Wound Dressing

We planted a 6’ Desert Museum Palo Verde tree in June 2023 and a deer tore a 1 3/4” branch away from the trunk in Sept. The branch was barely connected to the tree and it was hanging down. I tied it back up to the tree the best I could and started looking for advise on the internet when I found tree bandage! I ordered it, it arrived quickly, and the limb made it through our winter and is green and the wound has healed. This product is amazing. I told our plant nursery about it so they could have it on hand when tree emergencies happen. Thank you so much!

Tree bandage worked great on a Japanese Maple I hit with a string trimmer. This is an excellent non-petroleum based product. My guess is molds, fungus, and pests don’t like the silica. I made a few YouTube videos showing the healing progress. https://youtu.be/fC5eCzqrH74 https://youtu.be/RHy6sbmBv9U

In summer 2018 I was in Japan for a month and my guestroom overlooked this typically beautiful garden behind a local temple. It had many mature trees both deciduous and evergreen. It had a dedicated arborist which is not unusual in Japan. One day I saw the arborist climb one of their traditional triangular ladders, pull out a Silky, trim one or two carefully selected lower branches, and then pull out a spray bottle from his workbelt and spray the wounds. "I need something like that" I was thinking, so I dashed over to the garden to find the arborist. In my very poor Japanese I asked about the spray. Imagine my surprise when he showed it to me and it turned out to be from the U.S. and was Tree Bandage! Whoa! When I got home I bought some from Forestry Suppliers and have successfully saved a 50-yr old Magnolia that had lost limbs in an ice storm, and now use it for all large pruning. The silicone bandage fools the tree into ignoring the wound. Stand upwind of the spray. Apply 2-3 times.

Our 30\' high maple tree had a huge gash in the trunk when we bought the home in 2012. In spring 2016, we noticed that the tree did not leaf out fully. An arborist told us it was dying and would have to be cut down the following year. I purchased this and applied it 3-4 times the summer of 2016. In spring 2017, the tree produced a full crown of leaves and looked better than ever! We are very thankful for this product!! It saved that mature beautiful maple tree!

In August of 2016, a random kid from my neighborhood decided to climb my 6 year old mimosa tree in my backyard. He stepped on a minor branch and the branch cracked at the trunk juncture. The branch was hanging on the ground that's how bad the crack was and it was about 16 inches long. I was determined I was not going to lose that branch because it hangs directly over my lawn in a critical area for shade. My husband and I used screws and zipties to put the branch back together and ropes tied to higher branches to support its weight. Luckily, I found this product online and applied it three different times within a month period. Here it is almost a year later and it is healed and can support its weight! This is an excellent product!

I have been using this product for 12 months with great results. Easy to use, fast application, clean and economical compared with similar products. I posted a YouTube video on it.

Product is very easy to apply. It's water based and is clear and odorless. The tree wounds I sealed seems to suck it right up. After it dried, the cut surface has only a faint sparkle to it.
