Girdling Root

Girdling root is a condition where a tree�s roots grow in a circular pattern around the base of the trunk, rather than spreading outward. This can constrict the flow of water and nutrients, eventually leading to the tree�s decline or death. Girdling roots are often caused by improper planting techniques or container-bound trees, and corrective measures include carefully removing or cutting the roots to restore healthy growth.
