Compress from horse sorrel

We bought my first dacha because of the luxurious garden. True, he was running enough. And with a more detailed examination of the trees, I found that a very pretty apple tree with an excellent crown is monstrically damaged trunk! The height of the damage was about half a meter, and the depth was such that the core of the barrel was sticking out. Until now, I will not do anyone who could emit a tree. But one thing was clear: he must be saved.
To begin with, I was consulted with neighbors. All just headed, they say, hopelessly - such a deep wound treatment is not subject to treatment. But I still decided to risk. I really liked this tree.
In one of the books, I read that the deep wounds of the trees well tighten the finely crushed Kashitz from sorrel. It was in September. On the started plot there were quite a few bushes of horse sorrel with huge leaves. I chopped them finely, then a stick with a stick to get the juice outward. I lay this porridge inside the wound and topped with ragings. The compress was changed 1-2 times a week and so until mid-November. I can not say that the trunk has specially delayed, but the wound
did not start and even covered the fresh layer of wood. And this is hope for recovery.
Now the question arose about how the tree is best to overweight. I heard that the wounds are best lubricating the Garden Wara. But it was not found in our stores. And then I remembered the clay and her healing properties. She disinfects and heals the wounds even on the human body. So why not use it instead of Garden Vara?
Thus and made: spread clay with water to the consistency of the dough and filled it with her wound. Top tightly plugged with rags and burlap.
You know, the tree overwhelmed and even bloomed in May! Here is such a gratefulness for affection and care. All spring, I continued to make compresses from horse sorrel. And then, when it became clear that the wound was tightened to five centimeters, made a clay seal, which he had changed. Every year the wound on the apple tree became less and less, and the tree pleased us with their fruits! Four years have passed, and only a light groove is reminded about the wound at a strong and already a skinny trunk.
