accident! damaged trunk of young hemlock
Yesterday I dropped a red oak near a group of hemlocks I planted 4 years ago and one of them was hit. Trunk cracked about halfway through about a foot off the ground. I straightened carefully and splinted by tying (with a 2 inch wide cotton rag).
This hemlock is now grown to maybe 6-7 feet since purchaced locally 4 years ago.
As amature, I can only think to apply tree wound dressing (treekote), only instructions say not while freezing or raining and its well below freezing now. I suppose as soon as above freezing, but needs to dry and don't know how long that would take.
Any advice to suggest to save this tree? Thanks, Rich, cental MA
