Tanglefoot Tree Pruning Sealer, 8 oz. Brushcap

Tanglefoot Tree Pruning Sealer, 8 oz. Brushcap works well to seal up limb cuts. I really like this product and glad a local arborist told me about it many years ago. The product is easy to use and apply, and really does seal well.

Easy to use applicator, works great!

Little bit messy if you try to go larger (due to the size of the brush). Works well otherwise.

This is much easier than the aerosol can but one of the cans ( I ordered 2 ) had leaked. Fortunately it was encased in a plastic bag and maybe 2 Tablespoons had "escaped." This product was excellent because it could be "painted on." I used this for some "Holly Trees" that the previous owner had let grow to a relatively great height ( 6 1 /2 feet). I had topped them off because they had been even taller. New holly sprigs want to sprout up and down the trunk which makes it look "bushy and over grown." Sealing a cut will keep it from re-sprouting. I was pleased and was glad I had ordered 2. Cans were packed well - just check / turn the lid an extra turn maybe????

Ok

Works! Never a problem with a treated cut on my trees. Messy, like all prune seals; use care.

I was surprised how thick and gooey this oil based stuff is. Of course it covered the cut tree limbs, but because they are all up high and at an angle, it’s impossible not to apply with this stuff dripping. If it gets on your skin it requires alcohol and lots of scrubbing to get off. If I had a choice to do it again, I’d get a spray can. It’s not easy to apply and takes several dips in the can since it’s so thick.

I have several fruit trees peaches plums and 3 years ago I put in an Apple tree it was doing fantastic ! It about 18 feet high !Just my luck 150 ft pine tree came down right across my yard !So get out the chainsaw and start cleaning up the mess ! And under the pine tree was my poor Apple tree with a few broken branchesAnd a huge split a good 25 inches down the trunk ! After clamping the split trunk as best I could! I plasted it with this stuff! Saved it from bugs /dease/ weather. Glad I got thisThe tree is doing better and this will protect it threw the winter !
