Is there any way to heal a tree that has been stripped of bark?

If only the surface bark is stripped, it will heal itself. If the damage is into the first layer of wood youmay need to bandage it similar to a human wound. Wrap the area with a cloth and tape it up. (I use cheap Duct Tape so the sun destroys it in about a year) For sensitive plants (roses for example) you may want to soak the cloth in wax to make a nice seal around the wound. Even if the bark is damaged all the way around the branch, it will still heal in time. If the first layer of wood is removed all the way around for more than an inch or so the branch is better removed.

Why do trees die if too much of their bark is stripped off?
The bark serves as the only protection between the elements and the tree's Cambrian layer. The Cambrian layer is the tree's version of our own blood vessels; it carries the nutrients from the roots to the rest of the tree. With no bark, the layer can freeze, be ripped, or most commonly, dry out.

What would happen if a trees bark were stripped away?
If a layer of bark is removed with the inner cambium layer from the entire circumference of a tree, the tree will die. If the xylem or phloem of the tree is interrupted, food and water cannot travel through the tree from the roots up. The inner core of a tree, or heartwood, is actually dead tissue and does not transport anything.
What can you put on a tree where the bark has been chewed off by squirrels?
If only the surface bark is stripped, it will heal itself. If the damage is into the first layer of wood you may need to bandage it similar to a human wound. Wrap the area with a cloth and tape it up. Even if the bark is damaged all the way around the branch, it will still heal in time. If the first layer of wood is removed all the way around for more than an inch or so the branch is better removed. I just recently learned too that if the wound is deep and bleeding (sap coming out) you can use spray paint on the wound. It is similar to humans using super glue as a band aid and will eventually fade or be overgrown with new bark. Insects and animals also avoid the area. Try using repellent to rid yourself of the squirrels, avoid any animal urine, those have not been garanteed to work. Using chicken fence around the base of the tree can also help the tree.
Why is tree bark rough?
Because it hasn't been smoothed by chemical weathering since it is wood and it just is. Some tree bark is quite smooth for no reason whatsoever.
