Abstract In my co-pending Canadian application Serial No. 321,063 of February 7, 1979, I disclosed an improved device for "gir- dling" trees. That device effectively removes a complete circular band of bark and all that underlies the bark to the central portion of the tree so that fluid cannot pass from the root system of the tree to the upper portion of the tree where- by, with the elimination of such fluid transmission, the tree dies. In many areas, such girdling is practiced widely as a method of improving the ecology of the area for the dead trees are readily removed by being pushed over by a bulldozer. This invention relates to a construction of such a girdling device whereby the bark or other material caught between the cutting element during girdling can be readily removed.
