Hi; I am hoping for an answer - hopefully a positive one - about whether a tree can be saved - if it is not already dead. I moved into a house with a tree that grew around a thick nylon rope for a hammock which had been tied tightly around the trunk years ago. A neighbor says he thinks it finally died last year. I have removed the rope (after digging it out with the use of a precision chisel). It was an inch or more deep. Now I wonder whether there is anything else I can do, like applying some special priduct or something into the groove left by the rope. I don't know the type of tree (I could send a picture), but it is about 60ft tall. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks
