I am looking for a solution other than black paint for lost bark on my 70+yr old Holly tree. It was hit by a car that wrecked in front of my house. There is an area about 4 ft X 18 in of damage.

I tried the wax emulsion which worked until it got cold. I removed the loose wax because of the mold growing under it. I would like to find a more permanent solution that will look OK too.

I had a tree service and arborist look at it but they didn't really help. The tree guy told me about the wax emulsion but didn't know how it was made. (Thank God for the Internet!) The arborist was only wanting to put a price on the lose of the tree. I want to save it, not get paid for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks from Northwest Louisiana.
