Complete bark removal around the trunk (girdling) cuts off sugar transport from leaves to roots and water transport from roots to leaves. The tree cannot recover. Replace it and protect the new tree with chicken wire (2–3 layers, ground to 5 feet) or a rebar cage with wire wrapping—both allow trunk expansion while preventing deer damage.
