• Pruning plants is an important part of ensuring the health of trees, plants, and shrubs that are part of a property's landscape
• This maintenance allows you to remove dangerously overhanging tree branches, remove diseased branches, and shape shrubs and bushes into pleasing shapes
• In the past, people applied pruning paint to almost every cut and slash, believing it would repel harmful insects and fungi
• In fact, recent research suggests that pruning paint may disrupt the natural healing process of plants and promote rot
• However, BLOCK OUT pruning paint can actually be useful in certain specific situations
• For example, to protect trees like oaks and elms, which are extremely susceptible to fungi carried by certain beetles, or to preserve fruit trees, which are vulnerable to bacterial infections
• Not to mention trees that have suffered from the whims of Mother Nature, the ravages of equipment, children, or animals, and whose trunks are now debarked in several places
• Some trees sometimes have injuries so severe that they are unable to form a proper corpus callosum, making them vulnerable to pest infestations and dry rot
• Pruning paint can be extremely useful for these trees to prevent the exposed wood from drying out and cracking
