Howard,

I hit a tree with my truck and there are two - three inch by two inch open areas. I haven't done anything to the tree yet, but I'm wondering what if anything to do. P.S. This tree is a volunteer, I don't know what kind it is, and it's right by the driveway.

The info. below is what you need to do now.

Tree Trunk Goop
Mix 1/3 of each in water and paint on trunks: Diatomaceous earth, soft rock phosphate, manure compost. Paint onto cuts, borer holes or other injuries on trunks or limbs. Reapply if washed off by rain or irrigation.
