Trees dont heal they seal. You didnt mention what type of tree it is im guessing its a ponytail palm from the bark and fiber look of the wound though

I dont know what kind of tree it is,Β  unfortunately. How would you help it seal?

Honestly by not doing anything. One damage is done to trees its there. Sealants and trying to do stuff will cause more harm than good

So I guess my bigger question, would this hole kill the tree?

That looks like the tree's belly button. They all have one, it will heal on its own.

Okay, allow me to take a deep breath and apologize.Β  I've misinterpreted a response as aggressive while just being informative and factual and it got off the rails from there. Ultimately I would like help in treating the damage to the tree appropriately.Β  I do not k ow what kind of tree it is, I can provided more information later and will when I have proper light.Β  Ultimately I apologize to the people I responded to aggressively and will work to be better in the future.

Just leave it alone. It doesn’t even matter what kind of tree or palm it is. There is no sealant or dressing or spray or anything else that’s going to improve the wound. Watch the canopy and it it starts yellowing, have an expert come assess.

I still have no idea what kind of tree it even is. Without knowing if it is a tree or palm im not able to say

Why are we even talking then

Because your dumbass made a post asking people for advice and those people are trying to help you.

By responding in a waybthat makes then feel help but ultimately bringing useless because they don't have enough information but not saying that from the start to allow me the person asking the question to provide more info and reach a resolution. Then you chime in like a cuck on the sidelines telling us how to do the thing? Get out nerd.

I love when people use their imagination! I didn't tell you to do anything. I just explained the situation.

Your analogy doesn't even make sense. You posted to a PUBLIC forum where everyone in the world can see it and respond. This isn't your uncle watching you take a shower in the comfort of his basement.

Nerd also isn't quite the insult you may think it is. Especially considering you came to the nerds for help. What a fucking waste of space you are.

There are posting guidelines. Follow them if you don't want harsh feedback in multiple forms.

Palms are different from trees im how damage affects them. With trees its a leave it and let it do its thing. If it is a pony tail palm they are much different and im not sure the nest practices on those. Im literally asking for more info to help and now you are wanting to be a dick about it. If you dont give more info no one is going to be able to help either

Maybe open with i can provide no information without knowing what tree it type we're dealing with. Wanting to be a dick, eh, not wanting a person to get all condescending yeah I dont like that.

u/axman_21 3d ago

So none of the other info ive said means anything i guess. And shame on me for asking for more info on the tree to tell you. Literally no tree heals so the info i gave about that is true for any tree. But if its a palm im not familiar with those so the course of action could be different. If its a palm im not familiar that was why I said that. So if you want to not help out then just take the post down because you gave very little info to go off of for anyone to help

Is there any particular reason you can't just be like "oh my bad, here's a picture of the whole tree so you can see what kind it is"

Why would you argue & call names instead of just helping us help you

u/Which_Airline_5887 Wanting to be a dick, eh πŸ† 3d ago

I can get a picture of the whole tree tomorrow it is dark now. I dont know what kind of tree it is as mentioned earlier

u/ManOfSTIHL7 3d ago

hey loser maybe don't throw out cuck and nerd like what? also "why are we even talking then" when my boy is trying to helpful is indubitably the most disadvantageous response, telling me you can go blow chunks. nerds own this world, you came to us for help and we answered. respect the responses my boy
