Disease from pruning

Hello!ย  I have a question on fruit tree management.ย  We have apples, pearx, peach, cherry and walnut, filberts

If a cut that we made last year became infected how do you treat the cut… it is black and looks burnt.ย  I was thinking of using a spray of OHN and BRV and LAB and spraying the entire tree bark (it is dormant now).ย  There are other spots that have cracks in the bark and the inside of the crack looks black.ย  The tree is shaded for a lot of the morning because of a larger tree just east of them so they probably don’t get as much sun as they should, but the tree is on a neighbors yard, so I can’t really do anything about it.

Would that be the correct thing to do?ย  My IMO isn’t finished yet… I was thinking of doing the SES with the quick microbes too.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Thank you Drake!ย  And by foundational IMO do you mean IMO 1?

The solutions you mention of Medicine, Cleanser, and Protectors sound like a good short term solution to controlling any infection that is in the tree.

In the long run, Foundation IMO is your best bet. Mix a bit of that with some oatmeal gruel to make it sticky and make a sort of poultice and smear it on the wounds to help them heal. Master Cho talks about healing trees in this video toward the beginning, even though the video is about collecting IMO, he gets side tracked by the health of the tree and talks about that instead.
