Does anyone know if it's possible to buy liquid to paint on tree wounds in Spain - & if so, what's it called?

It would seem by the large amount of views & no replies that it isn't available in Spain.

What happened was that, yesterday, a large lorry got lost and attempted to turn around on our terrace taking a large chunk of our shade tree with it!!

My husband rang me last night asking if I could take some wound paint back with me when I go home on Sunday - but with a measly 15k baggage allowance from Ryanair, I'm just about up to my limit.

We have a friend who works in a garden centre who said he's never seen it -looks like he was right after all

Go to any decent sized vivero and they should be able to help, Ive seen the old guys in the campo sawing off branches from avacado`s then painting the tree white , dont know the name of the paint though.
Good luck.

I don't post much on here these days and I have only just seen this.
I have 2 products.
1) ARBOKOL:
2) MASTI-CORT:
Both seem ok

It is by no means universally agreed that wound paint works. Google around to read the arguments for and against.

Thanks for all your replies - I'll tell OH about those products.
And Freddy, I was going to use the argument against painting them to justify why I wasn't going to lug any back home with me

the previous owner of our house useed to lop great big bits off the pine trees, then slap yeso onto the cut. The trees survivedand it supposedly stopped the resin dripping everywhere.


gonna get the buggas cut down asap the needles, the kernels, cones and the yellow dust are all a pain

Pine trees are a pain in the bum.

Pollen still around after so much time.You just cant get rid of it but my vaccum cleaner was good for the terraces. It is just so fine that you cannot sweep it up. Our outside underbuild area is still full of it and I have swept and swept and .......

Then came the brown maggot looking bits which now lie around in abundance everywhere.

Yes the needles also.

Processionary caterpillars etc.

The very best of luck on your eradication.

Advice to everyone-never plant pine trees.

Even the cones dont burn for very long.

I think this is the stuff you are looking for - saw it today in my local viveros.

Thanks for that Fred, we'll have a look for it - I don't think you're too far from us so it should be available in this area
