Robin Hill tree, rabbit damage
(lemmy.ca)
I'm told this can't be fixed. We'll just have wait it out. See if the tree will survive. Is that the case?
Edit: Thanks all. I'll replace it and properly protect this time.

In my non-expert opinion, eez dead. A lost cause but I can't tell if the girdling goes all the way around.
I concur. That’s a thorough and deep girdle
The root stock may sprout, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Unless you got this cultivar for a specific reason and the root stock is demonstrative of the opposite.
