Quoted By:
German forester here. sure you have western american trees lis sequoya ( mammothtree? dont know english term) who give a fuck about bark wounds. but trees like beech (fagus sylvatica) or other thin barked trees ( mostly leaftrees) have issues dealing with bark threads because they are entrances for fungi and bacteria. you should use a setup with a towel arround the tree if you can see it has a thin bark.
