It's becoming very unclear how to decide which branches are goners
and which should be kept.

There are a few examples of well-hydrated new growth on branches
that are clearly girdled on the rootward side. One in particular
is obviously girdled an inch below and a foot above. There's no
fruit connected by the remaining bark, from which water and sugars
might be extracted.

Anybody got an idea what's going on? I thought all transport both
up and down a truck was carried in the bark: No bark, no transport,
branch dies. It looks as if there's at least some water transport
upward in layers beneath the peelable bark.

Thanks for reading, and any ideas as to what's going on.
