After much research, I found this product to help my magnolia tree that was run over and snapped in half from a contractor's trailor. I initially wrapped the tree in duct tape until this wrap and graft wax arrived. I removed the duct tape, loose bark, and support stakes. Applied the tree grafting wax, then the tree wrap. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, but strong enough to support the trunk with the added support of ground stakes. I was given this tree for my 40th birthday, from my dad over a decade and a half ago. My father is no longer with us, and this tree unfailingly blooms every year around my birthday. I hope and pray that the steps I have taken will allow this beautiful tree many more years of pleasure, for myself, the animals, and beatles that pollinate it. Thank you for a product that it so desperately needed to withstand this terrible tragedy. Highly recommend giving this a try.
