Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether the root or the shoot of the tree dies first after girdling and the reason behind it. Introduction:

Girdling is the process of removing the bark in a ring around the trunk of a woody plant. The bark refers to the tissue present outside the vascular cambium which includes cork cambium and secondary phloem.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether the vertical gash is as harmful as girdling and also the reason for the same.

Introduction:

Plant cells form three main tissue systems: ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue. Vascular tissues are xylem and phloem. Phloem transports the sugars from photosynthetic cells to the nonphotosynthetic cells of the plant.

A friend just returned from a family trip to northern Michigan, where he visited a maple tree farm where they made maple syrup. On the maple trees, they make just one relatively small cut all the way through the bark (or two cuts on larger trees) and hang a bucket beneath to catch the sap. Why, he asks you, don’t they just make a cut completely around the tree and collect much more sap much faster?
