Peel a ring of bark from the trunk as long as it’s a full circle the tree will die but would be rather obvious, copper nails driven into the trunk is the discreet way to do it, or get someone else to do it when you are in a room full of people and deny any knowledge 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'd go with Micky's advice and ring it, the strip of bark to be removed need only be a half inch around and you can rub a bit of dirt in it to cover the lighter trunk underneath the bark. Use a Stanley knife and a narrow chisle, or sommat similar, just for picking the bark out from between the cuts. Sap cant rise, tree die's, real quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
