    The cambium layer (just under the bark, the only true 'growing' part of the tree) is about one cell thick and is very slippery.
    The pressure washer simply squirts the water between the bark and the cambium and the bark files off.
    Works on all species (as far as I know) since they all have the cambium layer.

    I stripped a couple of cedar branches last week with that very process.
    I used my 16HP 4000PSI pressure washer with the same swirling singlepoint tip as in the video.
    It only took a couple of minutes.
