Loudon states, that incisions are some
times necessary to the health of the tree,
in the same manner perhaps as bleeding is
necessary for the health of the animal. The
trunk of the plum and cherry tree seldom
expand freely till longitudinal incision has
been made in the bark; and hence this OPP
Grafton is often practised by gardeners. If
she incision affects the epidermis [out side
bark only, it heals up without leaving a
scar; if it penetrates into the wood, the
wound in the wood itself never heals up com
pletely, but new wood and bark are formed
above it as before.
