Bark/cambium damage

    2 responses

Jono77 starts with ...
Hey there, A few of my fruit trees suffered bad hail damage, the worst being my reed Avo. The bark and cambium have been stripped around 50% in some spots. The tree has grown back all its leaves vigorously through winter since the damage. Is this tree worth saving for the long run or do I cut my losses and save my time and buy a new one? TIA if anyone answers.

I've been spectacularly unsuccessful with Avos here in Sydney with my awful clay acid soil. BUT saying that - given the you are in QLD and the tree has vigorously grown it's leaves back, I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. Feed it well and seaweed it too and see how you go. The damage is 'sort of' a cincturing. also it is not a total ring bark as the spots are separated by good bark.

Definitely worth saving, try "New Kiyonal Pruning Compound - Cut Paste Kiyonal 100g " on amazon, or search "tree wound" there. I have similar experiences, they will heal back.
