I am going to cut some limbs off, and I need to know what is the best thing to "seal" the ends of the limbs that I cut off.

I am not going to wait til winter time to cut the branches, because they are getting in the way of the house now, and I dont want any limb damage done to the roof, so, I must do this in August, when its really hot, and hopefully it wont hurt my Cherry Tree too much.

I need to know what to buy, and where to buy a sealer for the cut off limb.

Thanks for all who contribute.

I wish you well...

Jesse

I have always been told to cut the limbs as close to the trunk as possible and then don't worry about it. The tree will heal itself. After a few years, the bark will grow over the cut. That's what I do with my Oak trees.

One of the "home improvement" shows on DIY said do not seal it.Cut it close to the trunk as possible. the tree will heal up nicely.
