Tree Paint

[felixdeener]

I have just recently had a house rehabbed in order to sell. Without my permission the rehabber painted the front tree in the yard with CHIMNEY MORTAR. I understand he was just trying to cover up spray paint on the tree from the previous owner, but what was a 1 foot space of spray paint has now become a 3 foot space of Chimney Mortar. It looks like a huge peach spot on the front of the tree. I am really disappointed that he did this without first asking me about it. I cannot afford to get tree cut down. I thought about spray painting the mortar with a couple different shades of gray and black. I don’t think that I could hurt the tree any worse than it is now. Does any one have any SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?

Remove the mortar! Carefully.

The mortar should become brittle once it has had a little time to dry well. Give it a few days then try picking it off carefully. Good luck.

thank you. I would have never have thought to peel off the motar.
