196 Moore and McGarry: Potential for Bark Patch Graſting to Facilitate Tree Wound Closure The use of bark patch graſts may mean that the removal of a tree limb could be less of an eye- sore. Covering the wound with a bark patch graſt conceals the fact that a limb has been removed and hides obvious scarring, while at the same time the risk of disease and stress to the tree may be reduced by closing the wound more quickly than would normally occur due to natural callus- ing. The use of bark patch graſts provides arborists with a method of dealing with tree trunk wounds caused by vandalism and accidents, and would be particularly useful if a tree was of special, historic, or environmental significance to the landscape. Acknowledgments. Dr. Sue Finch of the University of Melbourne Statistics Consulting Centre is thanked for her assistance with the statistical analysis of data. Dr. E. Moore, linguist, is thanked for her helpful suggestions on reading the manuscript. LITERATURE CITED Aloni, B., R. Cohen, L. Karni, H. Aktas, and M. Edelstein. 2010.
