Better to use a stretch, since it is well stretched and allows very tight to cover the surface of the air and water.
Rabbits and goats bark with a large trunk area. They remove her stripes, so in the case of narrow lesions have a chance that the tree will survive. Zealous gardeners daubed their garden pitch for disinfection and accelerating the process of overgrowing.
There is another way: instead of pitch to cover a mixture of clay and cow dung. On top of the barrel is best to wind the film and even a cover with roofing material that will protect the wound from sunlight and helps the tree to keep warm. Under it will grow young fresh bark.
If, however, the cambium killed, the bark will be reduced around the edges of a few years. To stimulate the proliferation of bark will need to scratch build-up, and each time updating vara layer. In the case where the bark is damaged on a large scale, experienced gardeners spend vaccinated wood bridge. For information on how to do this will be discussed in a future article.
