Getting Tree Trunk To Stop Seeping

RE: Getting Tree Trunk To Stop Seeping Post By Dan Mc (Guest Post) (05/28/2008) After applying tar. The orange goo is gone. The weather has been cool, so there are bubbles in the 1/4" of tar I applied. It appears now that it drips clear water, about a drop per second. I'm thinking about applying some "hard rock" compound on the edge. I think the tar is helping, I need a few hot days. Thanks for your responses. I don't think it's a fungus.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Tree Trunk To Stop Seeping Post By Kim in N TX (Guest Post) (05/24/2008) Are you sure it's not a fungus? I have a silver maple that is dying (from drought, not from fungus). Last year it looked like sap was coming out of it. But then this weird fungus started growing off of it. It started out an orangish goo. Just a thought. other than that...I don't know!! :) Kim Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Tree Trunk To Stop Seeping Post by Michael the Moe (19) | (05/21/2008) Profile | Contact Roofing asphalt....come fairly cheap in large or small containers @ Home Depot. Put an even layer on the top and it should stop the seeps. Report Spam or Abuse
