How do you protect trees that bark has been stripped off?

To protect trees with stripped bark, first clean the area around the damage to prevent infection. Apply a tree wound dressing or a protective sealant to help shield the exposed tissue from pests and pathogens. Ensure the tree receives adequate water and nutrients to support healing, and consider wrapping the trunk with burlap or tree wrap to reduce further injury. Monitor the tree regularly for signs of distress and consult an arborist if necessary.
