Why Do People Ring Bark Trees?
https://www.trucoservices.com/post/tree-service
Ring barking is a technique used by foresters to manage trees. It involves the removal of a complete ring of bark from a tree. The trunk of the tree can then be thinned.
Ring-barking
Often a ring-barking procedure is combined with a chemical herbicide. This allows the ringbark to be more effective. However, this method is not recommended for home gardeners.
Risk of Ring-barking
During the process, the entire vascular system of the tree is affected. Hence, it is possible to see an increase in the number of fungi and insect pests. Insects such as stag beetles lay eggs in the soil near rotting wood. Several years later, the eggs are infected and the wood becomes infected with a fungus that causes a bacterial infection.
As a result, the root system of the tree is not able to grow. Consequently, it loses water transport and food transport.
Phloem
The phloem is an important transport system that helps plants carry complex organic molecules from the leaves to the root system. The phloem also provides transport for simpler substances. By removing the phloem, the tree will be starved of the necessary nutrients and will eventually die.
Girdling Technique
If you want to protect your tree, you can do a girdling. Using a girdling technique, the bark is removed from the circumference of the tree. Leaving the rest of the tree intact allows it to survive for many decades.
Some people use girdling techniques to prevent fruit overgrowth. A girdled tree can also be useful in bringing light into the forest.
