I will post photo separate.....
Well I try my best but I think I waisted my time. Went to farm after work until 1030 pm and left not feeling hopeful of new growth on existing out branches. I didn't even bother with air layers. I took as many good "still have uneaten" nodes and pruned back. My brother was very stern on spraying our papa tree with pruning sealer and tree tape but I think it was waist. Here's conditions of all the trees that are not 100% dried out and brittle.
They were not buried deep enough below the frost line and are pretty sure tis was rabbit because of the vast amount of droppings we found in the trench.
So starting from the roots... All but one trees roots are great healthy fresh large balls. Strong. From the very top of the highest root connected to main trunks is where the problems start. On all the trees forget girdling... Some from tip top to the roots its self all the bark and green is completely gone. There's nothing to air layer or make cutting from. Like a monster ate all my skin off my body. Every tree is like that besides papa tree which trunks are same but 1/2 way up there was some bark and green but almost every single node was chewed off. I have never seen tis bad in my life of fig or any tree at that. I managed cuttings and rather would of just cut back to ground but again my brother has his say too. So I hope I did right. And see photos.
