Vitax Medo Pruning Compound and Grafting Sealant is designed for arborists, gardeners, and home growers looking to protect fruit and ornamental trees, roses, and shrubs from environmental stress after pruning or grafting. Its primary benefit is the creation of an elastic, waterproof seal that blocks moisture and pathogens from entering plant wounds, though users must note that it requires application on dry surfaces in temperatures above 0°C to ensure a proper bond.

It is suitable for most fruit and ornamental trees, as well as roses and shrubs.
You should only apply the compound when temperatures are above 0°C.
No, it is formulated to be waterproof and will remain effective through wet weather once cured.
No, it is designed to promote natural healing and shield the plant from harmful pathogens.
The drying time depends on humidity and temperature, but it typically forms a protective layer shortly after application.
It is most effective when applied to fresh wounds, but it can be used to seal existing cuts if they are clean and dry.
Ensure the wood surface is completely dry and free of sap, dust, or dirt before reapplying.
Store the container in a slightly warmer environment for a short period before use to improve flow consistency.
To apply, use a clean stiff-bristled brush. Ensure the area of the tree or shrub is completely dry, as the sealant will not adhere correctly to wet or sap-heavy wood. If the compound has thickened due to storage, ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use. Always apply when the ambient temperature is above 0°C to prevent the sealant from freezing before it has had a chance to cure. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula.
