Band width, as related to trunk diam, was varied to allow adjustment of the amount of chemical applied. Band widths have been between 0.25 and 8.0 trunk diam equivalents according to species requirements. Results indicate that deciduous trees should not be banded in the late summer or fall when there is no longer shoot growth. The late season banding of deciduous trees resulted in deformities of the leaf blades of the following spring growth as well as a less dense canopy for as long as 4 months, after which time normal growth resumed. Young trees without mature bark characteristics have shown abnormalities of external trunk growth not found from banding over-mature bark of the same species. However, transverse cuts through the banded zones of young trees have shown no internal damage.}, issn = {1935-5297}, URL = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/5/3/59}, eprint = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/5/3/59.full.pdf}, journal = {Arboriculture \& Urban Forestry (AUF)} }
