Boadee on Nostr: Is the tree completely girdled, meaning all the bark missing around ...
Is the tree completely girdled, meaning all the bark missing around circumferentially? If it is then it’s probably not going to make it. This has the look of rabbit or possibly other. 1/2” galvanized wire mesh worked well for me, buried into pea gravel around the base. That will protect from voles burrowing under snow to get to your trunk base.
I offer apple orchard consulting, from my base in Ohio. You can learn a ton from Michael Phillips’ book The Apple Grower if you don’t already have. He was a sage.
