Talk:Girdling

I was feeling particularly bold today and decided that a merger of girdling and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ring_barking&redirect=no was in order. Same process, multiple names. Unfortunately I am not an expert on the subject but I kind of want to make this a great article. It could benefit from an illustration. Ben Webber 22:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Damage to Xylem Preventing Healing
The article states, "Healing can only happen when the xylem is not cut into and damaged." This is patently false. If this were true, grafting would not be possible. In fact, healing can occur when the entire trunk is severed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victor Engel (talk • contribs) 21:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Girding not girdling
The term is 'girding a tree'. 'Girdling' is a backformation from girdle. People mishear the term and popularize it on the internet - like here on Wikipedia. 2607:FB91:BD5D:51A4:1E06:40D0:18F1:2958 (talk) 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
