- New canker video now up: • How to Identify and Re... If your apple or pear tree has canker, what should you do? Well in this video, Dad explains the effective way of getting rid of it!
What's the chance we can get an 8 year update on this tree?
would love to see long term follow up on these kinds of videos
I agree, seal the cleaned wounds. I have completely reversed trees from dying like this. Great work
Sir, is it okay to put copper on a cleaned wound? Thank you
@@veselinvukovic3654 hi, I'm unsure. I have never used it
After cleaning out the wound, I like to irrigate it with a weak vinegar solution to flush away spores, and prevent bacterial growth.
It may be a waste of time. But I haven't experienced any negative effects yet.
Good video. Thanks for sharing. I think before applying the tree wound sealer, it would be good to spray a fungicide like neem oil just to make sure that you got all the fungus neutralized. Then pat dry and apply sealer.
neem oil is an insectacide spray with copper and daconil mix in late fall before prning it will stop (97) problems been diing it for yrs never had canker simple and quick dont have whittle on you tree if you prevent instead of trying to cure
@@frankdavidson9675 do you mix anything else with Neem oil and when do you spray it?? Thanks
@@Drifter077 now is the best time to spray for every thing neem is an insecticide it smoothers the eggs that winter over so they can not hatch this stop the goo that comes out on peachesand other fruits you need to use copper and daconil for any funcus about 2 big spoons per gal of water in sprayer spray at 2 week intervals also after it rains iwll was off some time so spray just to sure alway stop spraying when when buds start to open you can mix copper and daconil togeather it will kill about (97) fungus,s LOL hope this ans . helps this time off year is only time of year that does any good i have seen some spraying in summer time just waisting spray good luck
@@Drifter077 mix with water only i buy the consetrate its better the diluted is cheaper but its mostly water i use 2 big spoon per gal of water this is feb 1 -22 good time to spray try to spray the whol tree those eggs are in the bark ---with leaves you can not spray the bark i try to spray 2 week intervals till bud start to open
@@frankdavidson9675, yes Neem tree from India produces a natural larvaside. Resulting in a high efficacy rate when managing against emerald ash borer by applying before end of May.
_I can't tell you how many people blame failure on the ingredient rather than applying wrong time of year._
Along with IPM or Integrated Pest Management it's best to know the enemies stages to specifically target at most susceptible time of season.
We've used hand held propane torches to sterilize the area, first scraping bark remains covering the wound as in video, not scraping the live bark though. The use the torch flame just enough to alter the disease residue but not enough to cook the live bark. The results seem fine.
Thank you. Great video. We only have 5 trees but don't want to loose any. This will definitely help and I don't have to prune a major limb to get rid of the canker. Thank you.
You are so loving towards the trees, thank you, I love my trees too!
I do also. Trees can make better friends than people ;)
I would ditch the messy Arbrex applicator & instead use a cheap paintbrush & throw it after use. Could you cut the tree trunk down to healthy wood and then use its healthy branches to implant one or more grafts onto the stump ?
FYI fungi need oxygen to survive. Sealing is an inherently antifungal operation…
I have not tried it but two ideas occur to me.
One is a rotary rasp on a battery powered drill. (Wolfcraft make one.) This seems to be similar to a dentist's drill and should be quite effective in removing the damaged wood.
My other idea would be to use a gas blowtorch. It might sound drastic, but you only have to scortch and scrape out the canker.
I would expect the heat of the blowtorch to kill off any spores in the wound and surrounding area thus doing a better job than the knife and sterilizing and sealing the wound at the same time.
I would think some oregano oil would be effective protection for the clean wound, because of it's anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. I've not seen this done before, but it looks as if you've done a nice job.
Janice B I'm going to try some oregano oil on my tree
My grandmother, in wet and clayey cheshire's apple trees were planted on a raised bank, maybe banks are useful for those growing trees in a wet place. Also, if it is wet, wouldn't deeper rooted plants than grass help with drainage, some clovers are deep rooted. Some say that grass isn't good for fruit trees but grass has glomalus microrrhyzal fungi on its roots, the sheath of whose hypha, glomalin, when the hypha dies, sticks earth together in crumbs bettering its texture. agri rose macaskie.
I suggest disinfecting the wound first then applying seal.
Well if it is too diseased cut it down and burn it and the stump, no this variety can easily be replaced from a nursery near us, I'm getting in to grafting as time goes by :)
@freakygeaktwo To be honest we haven't used tar to cover wounds, only that the product we used was made specially for covering wounds and found in a garden center. I will do some research into it :)
hope you find nothing but good stuff, I was wondering what would happen if you covered the trees cleaned out wound with honey ? or tree sap from a healthy tree?
Nice bark tracing! Well done.
i think that will break the compartmentalization and make larger wound.
Interesting vid.Thank You for demonstrating a valuable tree-saving tecnique.
Make sure you catch all the bits that come off the tree and dispose of it well .
We have a magnolia tree, not very big, it has a canker about 1 yard, like 2 inches from the bottom and upward. Previous summer I applied ammonia from a spray bottle. Seems like it helped a bit, but this year there are some more rotten areas inside. I plan to continue with ammonia and try that idea, someone shared in comments about a torch, but I want to ask if that tree can be cured (if the canker is so big, only ~2.5 inches left to the other side of the trunk). Diameter of the trunk is ~7 inches. We recently bought the house with the tree. Thank you for the useful and informative film.
Lime helps but I've heard you can make a culture of Turkey tail mushroom and apply it to the canker. It can outcompete the canker yet won't hurt the sapwood
I recommend reading 'Compartmentalization of decay in trees'. By Alex Shigo.
Pruning sealers are really only useful for stopping dessication, and have no place on old wounds
Another great video :) An angle grinder with a flap wheel may do this job very quickly
did the tree survive and produce afterwards?
I lost one of best trees because of similar problems. I REGRET not grafting some other trees with a graft from the one I lost.
Stump grinder will have a stump ground out within a half an hour I don’t know how big it is if you think it takes a half a day but I’ve had a lot of them taken out in the half an hours almost maximum
Would a Dremel tool be an idea for the final cut out instead of a chisel? You can get a battery powered one now I believe.
Good idea. Ill try it.
Thank you for sharing I will try my apple trees 👍👍👍
thank you for sharing, this was very educational
I wonder if you could graft a chunk of branch pruned and cut to shape.
Kinda reminds me of farrier work. I think I would use a small chain saw for the inner carving if I had an orchard such as yours. Would save you some time.
Most certainly need to use a sterile paint brush from clean and sterile sealer if you are going to use a sealer at all going from One Tree to the other dabbing the wounds from the same sealer is total failure that's like using the same bandage from one gangrene to the next you have to think of it like a infection surgery on humans you will never get rid of it unless you take better precautions 4 sterilization
It's been 10 years is there an update yet
The Treeseer left a link a few comments up. I just don't know how to copy and paste or whatever:)
After operating on your tree, did it survive?? One of my prune tree is having the same disease and in the same spot.
My massive spartan tree has developed this just on the trunk & into the two main branches. Could cry tbh. It looks pretty bad. It just Sprung up out of nowhere. Planning to try cut it out and seal & heal but I also fear trapping it inside.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope it will survive for you!
I just discovered a big bunch of orange sap coming out of the main trunk on my peach tree so I'm probably going to have to do something with that too I was kind of wondering if a butane torch would work to eliminate the fungus on the wound instead of using a chisel which seems very drastic
From what I have learned about this subject is that you want to cut it out then you want to spray it with a nine-to-one mixture of bleach to water and do not use Pruning sealer it invites disease. You prevent the tree from its natural healing processes and then through time that pruning seal breaks on that and now it has an open wound that it cannot for the life of it protect itself against because it did not go through its natural healing process. Mini pruning sealers also invite disease because of the pheromones that they release and it also traps in moisture plus the dark color causes whatever spot to become hotter which also invites more disease. So cut it out then give it a couple spritzes with bleach water and done
@@metal422life I too was wondering why people don't just use bleach. Maybe even 2 or 3 applications through the year, to knock out any newer fungus, BTW if that grass is cut short it may reduce the humidity in that orchard, possibly?
"Cut out as little as possible"! Good advice. March was a good time to do this surgery. How does it look now 5 seasons later?
I would like to know myself!
A follow-up on that tree is in this video: th-cam.com/video/lnZiupuI1V0/w-d-xo.html
after cleaning infeacted area of cankar which chemical you have used to polish that area
If washing your blade with milk cleans the blade, will washing the wound with milk help?
hope this works and will be looking forward to an update when there is time. Is that anything like tar or better that was used to cover the wounds?
Thank you for your video. Your video is extremely helpful.
That’s awesome. I bet you could seal that with clay. Just a thought. Or maybe that could introduce problems 🤷🏻♀️. I have a feeling it would work.
How can i make this paste...
May I ask, what about a natural antiseptic - what could possibly work ????? Also, could pine pitch be used to close a wound? I need help to save a tree, but I was advised to take the roots out, too ???!!!
ell there are new systemic fungicides avail now,which i have used with 100% success in my lemon orchard.we just clean the wound as good as possible,and then drench the root zone with a systemic fungicide, like ridomil gold mz or Aliette wdg.repeat after three months and the tree fully recovers.these fungicides work up and down the whole tree,meaning if you put them in the root zone,they travel to top,and if you spray the top ,they have the ability to make their way down to the root system.good stuff.please try.
Anjum Aziz ridomil and aliette are toxic, they're not organic, nor safe to consume.
You can use the tip end of a chainsaw to gently brush out the infected area with cancer. The man did good to burn the cancer material. Greet Dave
Will this work for stone fruit trees as well? I have a peach tree w/ canker.
I have a pear tree I think has canker but I thought the only recommendation was to remove the tree complete.. Will you also try to propagate that tree so you have backup or is it a variety that can be easily replaced?
I'm afraid our wonderful Zestar Apple tree may soon be done, after 15 years of sometimes meager , other times abundant harvests. Best apples I ever tasted! But black mold and canker damage on the trunk, ants, woodpecker holes have me desperate to try anything. I've scrubbed with bleach water where I can reach. Question- has anyone successfully plugged up deep woodpecker holes? It has 1 inch green apples started, but I fear it may die before harvest. From Northern Plains USA.
Instead of the chisel you might find a wood carver's gouge more effective.
thanks for the vid but would have been nice to see the canker for identifying purposes.
Sir, what is the composition of the remedy you applied to the cleared cancer wound of the tree? Thank you.
You got to do whatever it take to save the tree.
Anyone know where to buy spray for cherry tree canker in Canada?
so, did it work?
What is the thing that you put on the wounded area?
Thank you for this great video.
@freakygeaktwo those could be quite good ideas, my target is to find out by tomorrow for you and possibly make a video, not sure yet. stay tuned
Do you sterilize the brush on the end of your arbrex wound sealer?
if l try this treatment in spring, it will be helpful?
Warm was eating on my red delicious apple tree i did similar and I add some alcohol against any living creatures in there than I put black seal and grafting tape around it .
Hopefully I got it right.
Did the tree survive in the end? I have some of this on my apple trees - thanks for the tips.
Yeah they did and they are still growing strong. I will post some updates on my FB page later on this season to show how they are doing :)

I have a sweet cherry tree that has some branches with cranker disease. what time of year is best to do use this treatment?
thanks
Yones Haidari Best time to do it is winter when the tree is dormant
@@darkforest03 Sweet cherries in particular, but stone fruit in general, are best pruned in Spring-Summer to avoid risk of Silver Leaf Disease, which is not common but can wreck a tree. All other trees are usually pruned in winter, but it doesn't matter much, especially on a mature tree.
Ohhhh! I think my tree is too far gone! I'm so upset! I didn't know about canker!
What u used to seal the wounds please?
Are all these wounds due to prior prunings and would not pruning maybe help?
Nice good work to remove cancer ....remove cancer skin ..and add some private paste to take covered cancer part ....
Fantastic
Product name plz
Do you find that the chem trails are bothering your fruit trees and veggies...grapes???seems to me after they spray in the next couple days it looks like someone has herbicided all the leaves...my second season McIntosh seems to have died :(
Umm chem trails are actually just water vapour😂
do some more research on that please... the plane that you showed in this video the vapor dissipates within a couple minutes chem trails cross the sky and leave poison (aluminum, barium ect)... and don't dissipate and the sky then turns cloudy blocking out the sun!...but thank you I'll look else where...you've grown up since your first videos...enjoy your wealth of knowledge, thanks for sharing!!! blessings
Chemtrails are just water vapour. Jet engines release very hot humid air as water is a bi-product of the exhaust. In the high atmosphere where jets fly, it is -40 degrees, and the atmosphere at that height had a very low vapour pressure. When a jet engine emits this hot humid air into the cold atmosphere,the result is condensation. Try breathing onto a really cold window and it is the exact same effect. When the atmosphere is more humid,the chemtrails last longer.
Of course CO2 and soot and nitrogen oxides are in chemtrails too, but that is what you get from any vehicle which requires fossil fuel. It isn't this government geoengineering thing. If so then the world is also flat :)
I respectfully disagree....there is more than enough evidence to prove that chem trails are real...example www.wltx.com/article/news/local/verify/is-there-a-secret-chemtrail-spraying-program/101-523208285
Apparently you are not having plant issues. Have a pleasant day !@@HuwRichards
What was the name of that Sealant plz
Arbrex Heal & Seal 😌
Try a farriers hoof knife
Do you have a "year later" proof that this actually worked?
Add me on Instagram and I'll DM you a message with a picture of the same tree still very much alive right now :)
Do not do this. I'm an ISA certified arborist. There is so much wrong here.
OK, what would you do differently, and why?
spray with clorox, simple
Really that don’t make more damage to the tree ?
I wonder if you could graft a chunk of branch pruned and cut to shape.
