  2. Girdling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdling

    Girdling prevents the tree from sending nutrients from its foliage to its roots, resulting in the death of the tree over time, and it can also prevent flow of nutrients in the other direction depending on how much of the xylem is removed. A branch completely girdled will fail; and, when the main trunk of a tree is girdled, the entire tree will ...

  3. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    With the phloem destroyed, nutrients cannot reach the roots, and the tree/plant will die. Trees located in areas with animals such as beavers are vulnerable since beavers chew off the bark at a fairly precise height. This process is known as girdling, or ring-barking, and can be used for agricultural purposes.

  4. Bridge graft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_graft

    This damage is often caused by rodents and lagomorphs, stripping and girdling the tree. The inability to transport sugars causes stored nutrients to deplete, resulting in the plant's death. A bridge graft uses scions to 'bridge' the gap. Each scion is taper cut to match the cambium layers of the scion with those of the tree to which it is being ...

  5. Tree structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_structure

    A tree structure, tree diagram, or tree model is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree, although the chart is generally upside down compared to a biological tree, with the "stem" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.

  6. Tree shaping methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping_methods

    Tree shapers when looking for a new tree species to try generally look for trees that grow well in the area, are less prone to insect damage, and are less susceptible to disease. [5] Given grafting and the trees ability of inosculation form a fundamental technique, trees that graft well are preferred in construction style projects. The region ...

  7. Agrilus biguttatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrilus_biguttatus

    Newly hatched larvae burrow into the inner bark to feed. Their feeding behavior hollows out the tree, and they can create zigzag galleries up to 1.5 meters long, which results in partial girdling of the tree. [7] As the larvae grow, A. biguttatus can widen from less than 1 millimeter to 3 to 4 millimeters in diameter. Larvae create galleries ...

  8. Tree diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_diagram

    Tree topology, a topology based on a hierarchy of nodes in a computer network; Tree diagram (physics), an acyclic Feynman diagram, pictorial representations of the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles; Outliners, a common software application that is used to generate tree diagrams; Network diagram; Tree ...

  9. Metrosideros robusta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosideros_robusta

    Metrosideros robusta, commonly known as the northern rātā, is a forest tree endemic to New Zealand.It grows up to 25 metres (82 ft) or taller, and usually begins its life as a hemiepiphyte high in the branches of a mature forest tree; over centuries the young tree sends descending and girdling roots down and around the trunk of its host, eventually forming a massive, frequently hollow ...
