collar
Explanation:
ATTENTION

The source word "coltello" (cutter/knife) is not corret. In this specific context (botanic) it is COLLETTO which English translation is "collar".

Se for reference the links below (Italian and English)

agree  Rachel Fell: but I think the "colletto" may be the "branch bark ridge" http://www.sunshinenursery.com/GardenNotebook/articles/pruni... if you compare the pic. in this link with the "traforiepainate" link's arrowed illustration http://tinyurl.com/26j7r3o
