Branch Damage

Hi all,

Looking for some expert advice for treating a branch that's worn down from rubbing on a bamboo stake I'd anchored the main stalk - Right near the bottom of the branch where it begins.

Prefer not to cut the branch, but obviously if it starts to show signs of rot I may have to.

I'm thinking about applying some honey and wrapping with a bit of duct tape.
Also considered a small cloth with honey and taped to the branch, but my concern with this is that the cloth will hold moisture when it rains.

I believe a diluted peroxide solution might also help.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike

I'd chop it i tried honey peroxide everything and could never defeat the mold best bet is to chop

You are outside. I don't thimk you would get mold from that. Use a little tape to cover it and it will probably heal. We tape broken braches and the useally do ok. Never tried honey or peroxide.

We used masking tape last time but electical is better.

I’d try some electrical tape and support it if it dies chop it off if not then awesome. Treat the branch with some aloe under the tape and you’ll be okay.

Slide some foam pipe insulator over the bamboo.

We patched this one up about a month ago with masking tape. That was all we had at the time.

Thanks all!

Will see what I can do to cushion it, and wrap with some electrical tape.
