Something got into a dwarf plum tree and stripped bark from most of one side. It even got into the tree a few feet above the ground. There are teeth marks everywhere. The tree is about four feet tall and we don't have many deer around here. I'm guessing a rabbit. There was one that was near the tree when I was out there.
What would be good to put on the stripped areas to keep the branches from dieing? Somewhere I heard that when pruning a tree it isn't necessary to put pruning paint on but with this much damage I think something needs to be applied.
