I read somewhere that you can wrap a wire around the base of a tree that
has
reverse taper to thicken it. I mentioned this at a bonsai club meeting and
was told that if you "girdle" the trunk you'll kill the tree.

This might work on some trees but you would not leave it on long enough to
girdle the tree.
