Broken branch repair
My container trees have been tipping and I’m starting to get a lot of broken branches. Sometimes the break is near the branch tip which if fine since it will keep growing. But some branches end up splitting like this one.
I hate to lose an entire branch so I’ve started using electric tape to mend the break. Basically I just line it up as best I can and then wrap the tape around fairly tightly. The tape is flexible enough to give a little as the branch heals and grows.
I’ve done this a few times and so far all the repaired branches seem to be fine. No browning leaves and tips still producing.
If this branch survives I’ll post another pic when it’s time to remove the tape.
