Trees heal themselves through a process called compartmentalization. When a tree is damaged, it forms a protective barrier around the wound by creating layers of tissue that prevent the spread of decay and pathogens. Specialized cells, known as parenchyma, help in the regeneration of healthy tissue, while the tree also produces resins or other chemicals to fend off insects and infections. Over time, this allows the tree to seal the wound and continue growing.
