Seal Cavity

A tree hole, or cavity, is formed from the tree becoming damaged in some way. This is usually a hardwood tree and the decay is usually caused by a fungus. Injury to the tree, which allows the fungus access to create the den, is caused by insect attack, lighting strike, drought, flood, equipment scraping the bark, falling tree, or other action that physically injures a tree.

If a cavity is large enough, it can lead to tree decay. If the hole is too big, the tree can end up killing itself by sealing it off and massively restricting its nutrient and water flow.

If you have a tree that has a cavity and is not showing promising signs of natural restoration or healing, it may be better to fill the cavity and administer a treatment designed to boost the tree’s vigor and vitality so it can heal itself better.
