Is Wound Dressing Effective?
Treating Tree Trunk Wounds - Prescription for Tree Trunk Injury USFS Illustation, Publication AIB-387
Here is a great looking scribing of a conifer without a wound dressing. The area of trauma is enlarged but it looks good and does not hurt either the health or the looks of the tree. I personally think that dressing a wound can be done for cosmetic effect but has no value as a treatment and may inhibit healing.
