Some giant sequoia trees that have had an automobile tunnel cut through their woody stems continue to grow how is this possible?

All trees have a layer of soft tissue under their bark called cambium. This layer of tissue is the path for nutrients and water to move from the ground to the very tips of the trees branches. Cutting a hole through the tree disturbs only a portion of the cambium. The part of tree/bark/cambium that was untouched remains the route for the nutrients and water to the rest of the tree.Girdling a tree is to horizontally cut through the bark and cambium around the circumference of the tree. This cuts off the supply of nutrients and water to any point above that cut. Past layers of the cambium turn into wood (the rings of a tree). The interior of a tree being past of dead cambium (the wood of the tree) is now structural and carries no water and nutrients.

How do you fertilize trees via liquid injection?

It is by getting the dissolved nutrients directly inside the tree's circulatory system that trees are fertilized by liquid injection.Specifically, trees naturally accept dissolved nutrients through the roots. From the roots, the nutrients circulate throughout the above ground body parts by way of the up-flowing channel called the xylem. Liquid injections may be made indirectly through the surrounding soil or directly through root or tree injectors.
