Stem Girdling Roots (SGR's) and the Rest of the Story
What Stem Girdling Roots (SGR's) are, how to diagnose trees showing SGR symptoms, ID SGR's, and how to prevent SGR development.
Richard Hauer, Professor of Urban Forestry at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, describes stem girdling roots (SGR's). He describes exactly what SGR's are, their discovery as a threat to urban forests in Minnesota, how to diagnose trees with SGR's, how to identify them, and how to prevent their development.
