This is a White Oak "saddle" tree on my property.  My concrete guy repaired the rot, in Feb. 2020, when he poured the shed on my barn.  It needs a little touching up.

A tree can not heal itself, but rather tries to cover the wound with new growth.  If there is a place where moisture can still enter, the rot continues.

Try to seal any and all water entrance holes.  I have sealed open knotholes with Great Stuff expanding foam.  As the tree grows to pinch the hole off, the foam squishes.

I should have said sealed and not repaired.  Anytime I bump into a tree, I spray the opened wound with cheap black paint.

It's a feel-good thing. Does nothing to help the tree, from what we know. The tree has it's own mechanism to grow back over the wound.
