There have been some problem areas on my large trident maple for a while. There were very large cuts made on this tree and insects seem to have the situation worse. I need to clean these wounds to help the healing process. These are the main problem areas that I am talking about.

In this photo you can see to the right where the first branch was. The large scar had hindered its growth and weakened it. I am now growing a new branch so fixing this problem now is very important.

This scar is very old, and however is healing over, the dead wood is in bad shape. I want to clean this out as well so that the healing can finish up.
