Rabbit Bark Damage on Young Chilean Mesquite

Survival Outlook

If bark is not removed all around the trunk (girdled), the tree will survive. The wire cage is excellent protection.

Care

Trim loose bark to speed wound closure.
Water weekly with 1 inch (pan method) if no rain.

No wound dressing needed.
