Blocking (vascular tissue). This term is used when the nutrition of a tree is blocked by an excess of fluid. The sap then becomes obstructed: it stops and its flow is intercepted either by an inherent defect or a build up of sap in the conducting tissue, which occurs when the graft binding is not cut at the back. This accident leads to choking or obstruction, which is called strangulation or ‘étranglement’ and soon causes the graft to perish.
