If you mean "what can I use to seal branch cuts after pruning" then Arbrex is what you are after.

If you are just telling us what you are doing then thank you.

Many thanks. It was only after posting that I realised I had been too brief, but thought that someone would realise what I meant, so I didn't bother to add to it later.Once again, many thanks.
There is an argument that says that sealing after pruning does more harm than good...have a google and see what you think, here's one to start you off

many thanks to "wolfgang" but I think "Hawkwalks" answer "Arbrex" is what I require after previously looking on various sites in which all recommend sealing but not the name of the sealer.
woolfgand - if you read at the bottom of your link it does say that pruning cuts on fruit trees may require sealing treatment.

This will be required on Apples because they are pruned during the winter where the are most susceptable to disease infection from the pruning cuts.
