Will peeling bark off a tree eliminate it?

Answer: When a tree has been damaged by removing a ring of bark, the tree may die depending on how completely it was girdled. When the patch of bark is one-half or greater, the chances of tree death increase. Complete girdling (the bark removed from a band completely encircling the tree) will certainly kill the tree.
