Hello!
Today I ran my tractor (it didn’t brake) straight into an oak tree at my house. It broke the bark off and slightly damaged the inside tissue. I read online to make smooth lines (oval preferably). It was wide damage, so I didn’t make an oval, but I chiseled a smooth edge to promote sealing (see attached). It’s about 25 years old and we grew it from a potted tree.
Is there anything else I should do? Will this impact the tree’s life, possible disease, anything else? How long will it take to seal?
Thank you. Pictures are attached.
