http://vimeo.com/8052130 In this new Lindsay Farr video (that is quite well done as usual), they talk about pines being wrapped in wire and letting the bark grow over the wire.
What is the consensus on this? I have read about scaring the trunk with a razor blade as well. Seems like a similar technique. I have a rose bush that had a guide wire around it keeping it upright near the fence, and the bark has grown over it and now has swelled a lot more than the rest of the trunk.
I was also thinking this might work on a trident seeing that they grow so fast and have a bark that seems to heal up very well? Although it isn't very rough like pine bark. Maybe it's not such a good idea.
