Hi,
I just took down a big Black Cherry, and it bumped into this Sugar Maple on the way down. It looks to me like only the bark is damaged, but it DID bring it down to the sap wood. Sap wood seems to be undamaged.
I very much wish for the maple to survive, and don't want anything worse to happen to it. Do I need to do anything to the wound, or should I just let it ride?
I've heard of pruning compound, but I don't know if it's applicable here.
I was also careless when bucking the Cherry, and nicked the bottom of the Maple a little bit.
Sincerely,
Kevin
