Some trees had mouse damage (girdled), stupid ME for not using guards.
Hi,
You can save the girdled trees by doing some repair grafting. Do not let
grafting scare you. It is easier than removing your lawnmower and
sharpening it.
Depending on the damage you can either "inarch" or "bridge" graft over the
girdling wound.
