There is a coating arborists use after pruning or trimming, I've used that for the same purpose, maybe that would suffice, was also thinking of a handful of mortar, packed in just so, probably best to do some research first. Black cherry and other trees that I have seen will put up with an unbelievable amount of damage and still live, though some black cherry trees, on the mature side, I have taken down as it would not be long anyway. They can be almost fully girdled by something and still have a healthy top, I have dead ones where the water line came up from beaver, it was marsh, now a pond, bark off, and they have been there standing dead for like 30 years, that's better than treated lumber, as they are in standing water. I find it interesting to be selective when harvesting trees, as I have seen this place become forest over the years, most if not all was fields, pasture or the farm house and barn areas, I've taken down trees 20" at the butt in those places, mostly elm that just died. Those carpenter ants are something, those we have in abundance, they spread easily, I have had sub colonies in small chunks of wood. Whenever I see trees damaged by them I'll either try to remedy the situation or cut them down, to protect the healthy ones. There is enough standing dead elm for them, and the woodpeckers anyway. That pileated woodpecker is something else, fearless of me, I can walk right up to the one that has been here, took some shots and video early last summer, late spring as he flung off bark and rotted wood right onto me LOL !

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
