Question: If you had a large grove and you protected one spot of the grove every year (assuming the unprotected spots got windburned or topkilled every year), would that protected spot get taller and taller, or would it stay the same or even downsize due to the rest of the grove?
I suspect there would be some benefit of only a partial wind burn or top kill, but the benefit would likely be moderate due to the entire grove being interconnected.
