If the bark of a tree is damage by the horn of a deer , the tree tries to seal the owund from the outside environment to prevent any microbal infection . A reaction zone is created which alters the chemistry of the wood in the wounded area to avoid microbal infection . Than the tree builds a barrier zone 'Callus ' to compartmentalize the wounded area . The callus grow and cover or seals the wound . This allows new uncontaminated wood to grow on it .
