Once when I had a broken boxwood limb I was trying to mend Kay Lancaster
recommended the stuff to slow drying out. I never used it but my guess is it
probably works well (on woody plants anyway) or Kay woudn't have recommended
it, knowing her. From what I remember the stuff is sort of a watered down
pine resin.
