Any "attack" on a tree is harmful, much like cutting your arm with a knife. It won't kill you but it will hurt, but eventually it will heal - much like a tree.

You can kill a full grown cedar tree by "ringing" the tree or by cutting out a ring of bark that goes all the way around the trunk. You can also kill the tree by cutting it down or uprooting the tree.
