Why blortwick, does your tree and branches have cracks and splits as well?

Yes Bamboo, this was on an earlier question. You may be able to buy sealglaze tape from good DIY shops or garden centres, if not try using Arbrex seal and heal which you paint on. With serious cracking you need to wrap them round with an ordinary 3 inch bandage, take it off in the spring.

Yes, I know, Docbob, I answered the earlier question too, but that question referred to splits in the fruits, not splits in the tree or branches - which is why I've asked the question above. These treatments will do nothing for Fruit Split, will they

This was on an earlier question answered by Nicky08.

Not from Blortwick it wasn't - I checked via their profile to make sure I hadn't misunderstood the original question, and there's no other pear question listed other than on fruit split. Not that it matters, unless Blortwick thinks he can use this method to fix the fruit, lol!

thanks again for your interactions...................yes the branches do have splits
some quite serious,so I will try the arbrex and bandages and hope for the best.
Thankyou Blortwick

Ah, right. I can never find that Sealglaze stuff either, last time I just used a roll of elastoplast over the top.
