There is a coating arborists use after pruning or trimming, I've used that for the same purpose, maybe that would suffice, was also thinking of a handful of mortar, packed in just so, probably best to do some research first. Black cherry and other trees that I have seen will put up with an unbelievable amount of damage and still live, though some black cherry trees, on the mature side, I have taken down as it would not be long anyway. They can be almost fully girdled by something and still have a healthy top, I have dead ones where the water line came up from beaver, it was marsh, now a pond, bark off, and they have been there standing dead for like 30 years, that's better than treated lumber, as they are in standing water. I find it interesting to be selective when harvesting trees, as I have seen this place become forest over the years, most if not all was fields, pasture or the farm house and barn areas, I've taken down trees 20" at the butt in those places, mostly elm that just died. Those carpenter ants are something, those we have in abundance, they spread easily, I have had sub colonies in small chunks of wood. Whenever I see trees damaged by them I'll either try to remedy the situation or cut them down, to protect the healthy ones. There is enough standing dead elm for them, and the woodpeckers anyway. That pileated woodpecker is something else, fearless of me, I can walk right up to the one that has been here, took some shots and video early last summer, late spring as he flung off bark and rotted wood right onto me LOL !
