I have a light gray trident. I want to plug the hole from a failed thread graft. I will no longer need the hole. . What is the best way to do that? Matched cut paste? Nothing?
Thanks.

What goes in he hole itself that the paste grabs on to? toothpicks?Cut paste on the hole, and grow the tree above the scar like crazy.
If the hole is of any size use Oatey fix-it stick epoxy to fill the hole and cut paste to seal the opening for healing the scar.I have a light gray trident.

Perhaps a photo is in order. Typically a thread graft hole will be small... like less than the diameter of a pencil. Assuming even a small tree, as long as it is healthy, it should be able to grow over a hole that small in a season. I always use cut paste on deciduous scars, though to be honest tridents are so strong I'm not sure it is necessary. You are only protecting the margin of the wound... the interior of the tree is dead so you don't have to worry about it. I agree with @River's Edge that if you have a large void space you can always fill it with epoxy first.What goes in he hole itself that the paste grabs on to? toothpicks?
