Tanglefoot Tree Pruning Sealer (Aerosol), 9 oz.

I have a few pruning cuts in a number of tress and one poor tree that was moved poorly by some landscapers. This aerosol spray is used just like spray paint. Add like 3 layers over a few days. Dries well, gets into spaces in the cut or in the damaged areas and makes a good total seal. Make sure you have no lose bark in the application site. Yes, stay out of drifting spray, take breaks, wear a dust mask and best to use on a warmer day with sun & no wind. I just finished applications in the end of September and first few days of October in the NYC area with temps in the 60s.

Easy to use, just spray on freshly cut branch stub. This will stop from leaking sap.

It seems to work great and is reasonably priced.

Used it to seal a crack in my tree. Seems to keep the insects out allowing the tree to heal.

I was desperate to repair several large areas on the bark of my huge mango tree that someone hacked away at. I thought the tree was absolutely going to die. I came across this product by accident and was phenomenally amazed. It was applied a few months back, and the tree is continuing to thrive. I opted for the aerosol over the paint-like version that has to be brushed on, and it applied very consistently. It’s very important to shake the can well before using and you are the proper distance away from the trunk. Apply the sealer on a day where rain is not forecasted and well after the morning dew is dried up for maximum adhesion. The cans are pretty small, so you might want to consider purchasing two. I found that applying it twice, 24 hours apart, gave the best results. I can’t stress this enough, WEAR DISPOSABLE GLOVES, or your hands will be black for a few days. My only complaint is the color. The black color gives the appearance that the tree was burnt. Brown would be a far better option, if possible. However, given the choice of color vs losing the tree, I will take the black color any day. Highly recommended!

I have used sealer for many years and it seems to help heal the fresh cuts on the tree. This product is no different. Easy to apply with very little spray going a long way. Not only does it apply a layer of protectant but it also makes the large pruned cuts on the tree 'blend in' and the trimming looks more natural.

I made a terrible mistake when I planted two trees the last two years. The wind was so strong that they were small trees bending to almost breaking. So I put two metal sticks to avoid them to bend and ignored to take them out when they grown a little more. So, this year I realized that the trees had grown in diameter way more than the diameter of the metal sticks! the barks were hurt and struggling against the metal. I had to take the sticks out and it was difficult so some parts of the barks got hurt. This spray has solved the wounds, it sealed perfectly and reminded me that I need to be more attentive to my garden. Thank you for saving my trees, Tanglefoot!

This is labeled as a tree pruning product, but you really need a product like this when you prune your roses. I always seal the larger cuts on my rose branches, so that bores cannot eat into and down through the stems and ruin the branches of the rose. I love this product, except that it’s hard to press the button sometimes and the nozzle can get a little plugged, and the black spray can go, not precisely where you’re trying to aim it. I wish they could do better with the Container. But I love the product. Thanks for having it, by the way, because I used to be able to find it in nurseries, but no longer.
