Growing & Tree CareShould cord embedded in an old mango trunk be pulled out forcefully?
Embedded material may already be surrounded by living tissue, so pulling or digging it out can enlarge the injury. Remove accessible external pressure where this can be done without damaging bark, and obtain arborist advice for material buried in a substantial stem. Record the location for future assessments. A green canopy does not show whether the constricted section has retained normal strength.
