I have 5 or 6 trees (red oaks) that I want to take down in my yard this year. I probably won't be able to get to them though until late May or early June and by then the leaves will be out. If I were to "band " them by cutting a one inch deep ring all around the tree would that keep the sap from rising and the tree budding out?
I know that I would be committed at that point but I have no doubt that these trees are coming out, I just can't get to them right away and I don't want to wait until fall.
