If you completely girdle a deciduous tree’s trunk in mid-summer, why could the tree potentially retain
leaves throughout some or all of the rest of the growing season, but eventually die?
What will be an ideal response?
The tissue that would be damaged that would ultimately result in the death of the tree is vascular
cambium and secondary phloem. This would prevent sugars produced during photosynthesis in leaves
from reaching the tree’s roots. However, xylem tissue would be left intact and water would still be
available to keep leaf stomata open and leaves turgid.
