Saving Wisteria

Aw, crud. Some little bugger stripped the bark off my wisteria tree… all the way around. GRRRR.

Being girdled will typically kill a tree, but I’m doing to try my best to save it. After some time on YouTube, I decided to insert several bridges with grafting paste, wrap the exposed area in moss, and then cover with loose-weave burlap for the winter. Now we wait.
