What is this technique all about?

Use a saw to cut a circle all the way around the tree, deep enough to cut through the xylem and phloem. Effectively cutting off water and food to the tree. Works better with some species than others. When the tree doesnt leaf out, sunlight will be able to hit the forest floor allowing food and cover to come in while the tree begins to slowly lose brances, eventually falling and decaying.

So you just cut to circles around the tree and it kills it, but taking two or three years? Sounds good, effective and simple with not very much work.
 
Some species and some individual trees will die the first year, others will take longer. Some species will just sprout profusely below the girdle and would best be treated with a herbicide. So really it depends on just you want to accomplish and what species your dealing with. Im ust saying that normally for me, larger beech take a while to die, but Im ok with that.

I would rather just cut em down,done,but there are a few,like this one,that are just to big for me to handle.That being said,its really not all that easy,especially on a slope.You start just above the ground,and on the down hill side,your almost above your head.
