Hello,
I found my young red maple took girdling impact sometime this spring from a new landscaping company, most likely aggressive edge trimming which I did not catch.
I am so sad to learn about girdling and how destructive it is. Do you think there is any hope for this tree? Tree reaches about 6’5” and is over 5 years old (moved here 5 years ago). I discovered it after the stripped bark had broken down, so I was not able to attempt to reapply bark. Thank you very much for your thoughts
(and possible Sympathies). : /
