Carving into a tree trunk can potentially harm or even kill the tree, depending on the depth and extent of the carving. Trees have a protective layer called bark, which is essential for transporting nutrients and water. If the carving damages the cambium layer beneath the bark, it can disrupt these vital functions, leading to disease or death over time. However, superficial carvings may not have significant long-term effects on the tree's health.

Is carving on the tree trunk harmful to the tree?

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. Cutting any part of the bark removes the ability of a tree to "pump" water from it's roots to the furthest leaves, so any incision will affect a trees growth.
