Doctoring Trees Injured by Rabbits in Iowa
Rabbits gnawing fruit trees cause more injury than usual across Iowa. If a branch is not fully girdled, cover gnawed areas with melted wax or paraffin. Wounds may be painted with white lead mixed with linseed oil or commercial tree paint. Do not use pine tar grease or coal tar pain. Completely girdled branches should be cut flush with the trunk or just behind the injury. Young trees three years old should be cut below the injury to avoid sprouts. older trees may need top-working or bridge grafts.
