Whats it to ya?
[b said:Quote[/b] ]Heres why. Yes if the rope simply crosses part of the tree (with fences, other trees and such), the intact portion of the tree will speed up the transportation of nutrients and oxygen to compinsate for the loss of vacular tissue. However, if the rope encercles the whole tree, there is now no way for it to get food and nutrients from its roots, and will starve/choke/suffecate.
Want to know what that would be like? Put a rope around your neck and pull very tightly. Thats what happens to abused puppies that come in to our animal shelter sometimes, the owner is so inattentive that the collar become inbedded in the animals neck as it grows. skin grows around it, but it will sever the blood vessles and choke it eventually. It looks 'healed' on the outside, but its wreking havoc on the inside... the parts you CANT see.
Hum i certainlt dont see anything on stupid trees or growth patterns.... do you? kindly show me where because i dont see it.

BUt the problem with that rationale though is that trees aren't nearly as complex as we are. I fyou cut our arm off we won't grow 10 new ones.
He is saying that trees are stupid, not i. You should you should read all the posts through thouroghly before clicking "add reply", spec.
ALLOSAURZ , that fence is clearly not encircling the tree in ringlike structure.
encircling; to wrap completely around.
