>>1732547i was a teenager and read about girdling and like a retard had to go try it, and i swear to god anon i regret that shit every time i think about it. especially because of my love for autumn, and how i'm always rushing to campout as much as possible before winter hits, and the mighty beech tree is the last tree in the forest to lose its leaves. that section of the woods is acres of beech trees, and while the rest of the forest and bleak and bare in november, i can still tuck away and hideout in the thick yellow leaves of the beech stands. one less now, since i kilt that 100yr old patriarch ;_;
