Tearing the bark on a significant part of the trunk circumference may also lead to significant physiological disturbances, especially if it occurs during the summer. Trees with partial, but significant damage to the trunk bark can be saved by adequate reduction,transpiration. You can cover for this (shade) the crown of the tree, tie the branches in order to shade each other and minimize air movement, or remove the correct part of the fine branches. If the ripping covers half or more of the trunk circumference, it is necessary to perform bridge vaccinations, the purpose of which is to restore the broken conductive system and to ensure better mechanical strength of the trunk at the site of damage after the implanted shoots have grown out.
Tearing of tree bark occurs most often on tree trunks growing on roadsides, especially there, where the road has no curbs. Such damage is very often found on the premises, where a lot of vehicles move and work is underway with, mechanized equipment. In such places, protection of the existing trees against damage should be applied. This obligation is determined by special regulations. The stump can be secured by wrapping it with a straw mat, cover with boards, setting up barriers, etc..
