4 Inch Burl Fell Off Copper Beech Tree. Should I Seal Area Expose On Tree? Can Rubber Seal Be Used?

If you do seal the area, make sure to use something that is designed for use as a plant seal.

This should be, largely, unnecessary. As long as the tree isn't weeping, badly, from these spots the wound should not be significant.
