Just a quickie listing since the formula is much requested:

1/3 each of:
Manure Compost
Natural Diatomaceous Earth
Soft Rock Phosphate (Wood Ashes are a suitable substitute)

Mix that in a bucket, add water until it's a paint-able slurry. The Manure Compost feeds the tree at the point of injury boosting health, the Phosphate gives it immediate access to a source for building new plant material, and the diatomaceous earth kills/drives away bad bugs that might try to use the wound as a point of entry to chewing up your tree.
