Wood hardener

[boguz]

Hey guys.
My tree's bark is drying out. I think i should apply lime sulfur to the dry part. What about living part? I want to keep it, does wood hardener work there?

No, applying wood hardener to living wood would not help. Providing good growing conditions is the best way to keep a plant happy and healthy.

An Olive? The bark will die if it doesn't have foliage up high to sustain it.

A happy olive should backbud for you. So I will defer to what was said above. Horticultural needs ... need met.

I might look to carving the dead at some point. But not until it's a strong happy tree.

Would consider putting this tree in a larger pot, or better still, a box for a 2-3 years to regain strength …and let it run the first year.
