Hole in the base of a large tree #864584

Asked April 15, 2024, 12:17 PM EDT

Last year one large section of my river birch fell down and now there is a large hole in half the stump area. I have covered it all winter to prevent moisture and bugs the hole. Is there a compound that can be used to fill in the hole and protect the tree?

Expert Response

I would recommend you contact a local tree care company and request a consult with an arborist. They will be able to asses the damage and recommend the best steps to take to maintain the health of your tree.
