Car Damage to Conifers: Bark Wound Healing

Two 10-ft conifers hit by car, bark stripped at 3 ft height. Insurance claim vs. survival?

Prognosis: Excellent

  • Pines/resinous conifers: Sap seals wounds naturally
  • Decay fungi excluded by resin
  • Survival expected

Wound Care

  • Trim loose bark to clean edges
  • No wound paint/dressing (slows healing)
  • Monitor for boring dust/holes
  • If borers: Spray Onyx or Merit on wound

Insurance

Claim for value reduction if any, but trees will survive. Replacement not warranted.
