Is there a better option to use on cut tree limbs than prune and seal?

I actually spray my pruned area with Rustoleum.

You could tar them

We were taught in MG class that proper cuts do not need sealing.

cut it and please let the tree heal itself mother nature takes care of her own. No – you should not use pruning sealers after pruning your trees or shrubs. After pruning, trees grow new wood, which covers the pruning wound, and prevents the invasion of diseases or bugs.

Trees know how to recover from pruning wounds all on their own.

In fact, research from the University of Arizona, found pruning sealers actually obstruct trees’ natural healing power. Yes, you read that correctly! Tree pruning sealers are bad for your trees because it makes harder for your tree to heal.

Plus, pruning sealers may trap moisture in the tree, which can encourage wood decay or fungi.Most often, these products are petroleum-based, but some even contain asphalt which kill plants & essential microbes. Many millions of trees world wide break and get damaged during storms and they continue to grow with out any chemicals dumped on them.just watch area around cut and keep cutting off any new growth/suckers if you do not want anything to regrow in that area.cut when they are really small and eventual it will stop trying in that area.If you really must......Alternatively, there are natural tree sealers with ingredients like collagen and aloe gel.
