SUMMARY Growth of callus tissue on tree wounds tended to be greater if wounds were flush, large and treated with a wound dressing, particularly one containing thiophanate methyl, if the trees were young and vigorous or had had an application of fertiliser. Growth of callus also varied with species, but in beech, at least, did not appear to be affected by season of wounding.
