How To Save A Dying Tree! 

Hi Jay! Thanks for sharing those excellent tips for saving a tree! Great precision felling on that one! I have had to do similar amputations on trees to save the main tree.

Mr Jay!! That's a very good idea to address that dead limb!! Around here by me in central Wisconsin most people that have any amount of property don't ever maintain there trees or land!! So much dead and dying trees its pretty sad!! Stay safe my friend!!

I know that was a good feeling when you landed that tree right where you wanted it. I don’t think you could’ve done any better. Excellent job!

Excellent info. Nice job taking care of the forest.

Thank you for this video!☺️

Thanks for the tips Jay.

Thank you

LOL, You have a great sence of humor Sir and I Love it 👍😉 Great aiming at that tree Sir 👍👍👍 Great saving tree cut Sir 👍 Shutt !!! I won't tell any one about your secret project about your deck and pizza oven Sir 🤣😉👍 Oupss, I guess it is too late !!!🥴🤣 CHeers !!!

Jay, Did you think about sealing it with pruning sealer? I’ve tried it and also have left it raw like you did. Generally I’ve found that those I didn’t seal became a hollow after about 8-10 years. A spray paint style can of pruning sealer is only a few dollars, and may be worth it. Maybe try an experiment on your channel by doing one each way and checking the healing every 6 months or so.

No doubt Jay. Tough ones sometimes with no head weight up top. Good stuff👍

Sorry if I missed this, but the dressing of the tree just entails making sure that the final cut reveals healthy wood so insects don’t return? I am in a residential area of a university town. Next to our place is a rental with a new landlord who has been told by a tree “care” company that several trees have rot/need to be cut down. They are all still leaving with what appear to be healthy crowns. They may be 111 years old, as an old farmstead was broken up into parcels, and the rental was built between the trees and a 111-year-old farmhouse, now also a rental. I feel strongly that someone without a vested interest in taking down the trees should make the determination of whether they just need trimming or do need to be fully cut down. I’m thinking our university extension office might be a good bet-but do you have any other recommendations? Thanks so much for this video!

Very interesting video! It would be awesome to see updates on this tree later 1 year 2 years etc

Nice instructional video Jay. Wood fired pizza oven sounds like a great future project too

Cheers for the video dude. My tree isn’t looking to well in my garden so I’m going to give it a go.

Good afternoon Jay. Good job.. You missed the fence.. I would have crossed my fingers and toes. Hahahah Keep up the good videos. As always stay safe and always be kind. Go 603..

Nice slo mo! Invest in the future harvest. Good job.

Nice drop bud , here in Connecticut the bugs are attacking the ash like that one and killing them , that’s why dot and tree guys are all over them , ash great wood cut split burn same day 👍🏻

If it's dying, shouldn't you be giving it Tree P R?

Jay, as a arborist I have to tell you that’s a incorrect cut and process. You don’t cut into the calus tissue. Your teaching wrong.

Ash is awesome firewood. I’ve got a bunch of dead ones here from the emerald ash borer

Thank you, very clear Is there anything you can seal the wound, I have seen something like glue or a dark black cover that some people use. Is it necessary to do that

Stay tuned for next week's episode of Dr. Jay, Tree Surgeon! I love my trees too. I give them all great big hugs every morning. Seriously, I do love my trees. Even the Eastern Red Cedars. Thanks for showing me how to save trees that have a dead branch growing out from them. Do you seal the open fresh wood with anything, or just leave it alone and let the tree heal on it's own?

Nice job, show us in 5 years howtje tree is doing

what do you put on the Tre where you cut it or do you leave it bare?

Hey there. First thank you for your videos and information. I have a tree in my front yard the only tree in my front yard. Some type of bore bug has got to it. And one of the 3 main column limbs that come off the trunk. Is mostly dead. And a good portion of the bark one fourth of the trunk has fell off and you can see the bore holes. Any suggestions. If the limb can be saved I would love that. I don't think I would want the tree still without it. It would just look like an eye sore.

Nice drop! Almost like it was made to go around the fence.

I have a giant oak tree that is dying the size is like 4ft thick its REALLY masive and its near dead and I'm trying to figure out how to save it its like 70ft tall way taller then my house and about half way up its almost completly dead and the bottem chunk is also dead not like completly its like 70% alive. I don't know what to do its the best tree we have and its so big its Impossible to cut down.

That is wonderful to not to many people will do that. They will just cut the whole tree down

I like your new video today you did a really good jop on this tree todsy good jop buddy how wood stove doing

I was looking to heal a tree but a tree that is almost dead so I could pull the skin of but it did not naturally fall if I think this tree can still be saved but I don’t know how can you help me? ( I am not from America so sorry for my bad English)

So what do I put on the fresh cut!?

Have you thought about polarding a few trees for a constant supply of firewood

💯👍

Hey there. I think my cherry tree is having sickness and I have no clue how to help him. This is the second year that it gives damaged cherries. It's a yellow cherry tree. A portion of his leaves are wrinkled or look like someone used a flame near them and burned them. They are full green tho. Can you help me with some advice to aid him, please?

Good video, but not sure you cut it correctly. I'm not an arborist, let me start there. But I always thought you should cut just above the "collar" where the limb attaches to the main trunk. Not below it. I could be wrong, but I always thought the collar is what would grow over the wound and heat the tree.

did you ever sit on a wood stove

1st

Lest save a tree then proceeds to cutting it down

Hi if you have a tree that has it berk coming off of the trunk what can I do to save it or is it done.

The colar cut is not the proper way to do I work in trees over 20 years Westchester county NY

Hey buddy, you are a life saviour, my jackfruit tree 🌴 is dying but it is dying from the top most branch. Do I need to do the same thing you have shown
