should grow right out of it, they swallow wounds like the blob...
i got some with really bad wounds and they seem to heal with no help...
but i'm sure unlucky trees can decline in rare cases...i'd probably just leave it alone, and try not to get that part saturated too much...
I bought a jabo with some bark damage at the trunk. Is there something I should do to prevent it from rotting in the future? Or is it fine to leave it like this? It has been growing nicely otherwise.
Maybe clear away the dirt around the wound.
How deep is the cut?
Wound seems deep, I dug down 3” and it was missing part of the bark all the way down. I didn’t dig further fearing roots may be disturbed. I was unaware of the missing bark until I bought it home since it was wrapped in trash bags for the journey.
