Benefits:

• Disease and Pest Prevention: One of the primary purposes of pruning sealers is to create a barrier that helps prevent the entry of diseases and pests into freshly pruned or wounded plant tissue. This can be particularly important for trees and shrubs susceptible to certain diseases or insect infestations.
• Waterproofing: Pruning sealers can provide a waterproof barrier over wounds, which may be beneficial in preventing excessive moisture from entering the wound. This can help reduce the risk of rot and fungal growth in some situations.
• Cosmetic Improvement: Some gardeners and landscapers use pruning sealers for cosmetic purposes, as they can give a pruned area a neater appearance and may reduce the visibility of the wound.
• Longevity: In some cases, pruning sealers can extend the longevity of treated plant material by reducing the risk of decay and deterioration at the wound site. 
• Eco-Friendly or Organic Formulations: For environmentally conscious gardeners, there are pruning sealers available with eco-friendly or organic ingredients. These products aim to protect without the use of harmful chemicals.
• Long-Lasting Formulas: Some pruning sealers are formulated to last longer, reducing the need for frequent reapplication. These long-lasting options can be particularly useful for large-scale pruning projects or when dealing with many wounds.
• Translucent or Clear Sealers: While many pruning sealers are opaque or coloured, there are also clear or translucent options available. These sealers allow for visibility of the wound underneath, which can be important for monitoring the healing process.

Care instructions 

• Storage: Keep the pruning sealer tightly sealed in its original container or an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  
• Shake Well: Before each use, shake the container of pruning sealer well to ensure that the product is properly mixed and ready for application.
• Clean the Wound: Before applying the pruning sealer, make sure the pruned area is clean and free from debris, sap, and loose bark. You can use a clean, sharp pruning tool to create a smooth and clean surface.
• Apply Sparingly: Apply the pruning sealer sparingly to the pruned area. The goal is to create a thin, even coat over the wound. Avoid excessive application, as it can slow down the healing process and may not be as effective.
• Use a Brush or Applicator: Many pruning sealers come with a brush or applicator attached to the cap. If not, use a disposable brush or sponge to apply the sealer. This ensures an even application and prevents contamination of the product.
• Allow to Dry: Allow the pruning sealer to dry completely before exposing the pruned area to rain or other moisture sources. Drying times may vary depending on the product, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions for guidance.
• Clean Tools: If you used a brush or applicator, clean it thoroughly with water or a suitable solvent after each use to prevent the sealer from drying on the brush.
