: I need to cut some low limbs off my Magnolia tree (some 2 1/2" diameter) and would like to know if I need to treat the cut.
Thanks
FRED: The latest recommendation is do NOT treat the open cut. Make a good clean cut and the tree will heal over in about a year or 2 with no problems. This recommendation from the universities has been affective for the past 5 or 10 years. MVG Plant Dr.
