Cloudy and breezy on this Sunday with a slight chance for drizzle. Temps in the mid to upper 60s today. Warm with a chance for storms on Monday afternoon. Temps in the mid-80s. Sunny and cooler on Tuesday, upper 60s. Another chance for rain Wednesday evening.

I just had a "oh.. I'll ask Dad" thought cross my mind.

My dad has been gone since 2019.

So I'll ask Bluesky...arborist Bluesky?

I have a youngish tree that has split. But it's still budding/blooming. What is the "stuff" that you put on the split so bugs etc don't get into it and it survives?
