Ok. So I basically need to cut off anything that seems to be encircling the trunk instead of growing away?The big is an earwig... like you said, just there for the moisture and decomposing whatever.
Cut off the small encircling roots...but these are the ones that really need to come off - and they won't be fun. Will require a chisel (or lately I've been using an oscillating multi-tool) and care not to damage the bark underneath.

Also, in the article that was posted I read that Agri-fos can be used as a curative. Is this a good idea?
