There are many ways to kill a tree. Here are tips for keeping yours alive

Girdling is another way to kill a tree, and often this is done inadvertently. Remove tree stakes and supports once the tree is stable. Trunk wraps should not be left in place for extended periods of time. If the wraps were there to protect against sunburn, consider instead painting the exposed trunk with dilute white latex paint (1 part paint to 1 part water). Don't allow vines to wind around the trunk. Although it may look attractive, they can girdle the tree.
