I have just read an article about correcting inverse taper by drilling a cavity and compressing the trunk to reduce it. Sounds drastic to me but I wonder if anyone has tried this or have any other way that I can reduce inverse taper. I have tried a tourniquet but it did not work too well,

I am very much interested in this topic.
Sounds radical, but is it effective ?

Apparently so, it is in the American 名媛直播 Society journal, the article does not go into enough detail for me, I I have many questions that I can't get an answer to. It also seems to be quick, only a year.

Geoff, won't it swell or make a callus?

I’ve only read about using a tourniquet for creating nebari when there is a poor development of them. I’m intrigued by this suggestion.

It would seem that it crushes the bark to the cambium layer, which then will fuse, the pictures in the article does not show it too well. I was hoping someone might have tried it.

I would be very worried about the sustainability of the three. If you start removing the core of the trunk, you open it up for all sorts of diseases.

I am not sure I want to risk a good tree on a procedure like this although I do have one with inverse taper. I can see the principle. I will ave to talk to some of my friends to see what they think,

Im afraid that correcting inverse taper is really difficult, and only viable way with some caveats is to air layer it with some wire in the wound... but who knows I'm interested as well in this topic, any link to the article that we can check?.

You could give this method a shot on some cheap sacrificial tree from a big box store before trying it on one that you care about. Ideally you would use the same type of tree, on a section of similar girth and/or age (hardened off vs green, bark coarseness) to see how easy it is to compress it, how much the girth is reduced after healing, how the scar looks, etc.
