Question:
Why will removing bark around the circumference of a tree kill it?
Answer:
-Removing a complete ring of bark from a tree will also remove secondary phloem, which makes up bark.
-Only the secondary phloem functions in sugar transport, so removing it will disable its food transport and kill it.
