I hope it is not referring to my tree.

It's not referring to YOUR tree, as it is firmly rooted in the ground. DERACINATE literally means "ripped out by the roots".
By the way my dear...
Are we still permitted to call tree bark 'black'?

Official meaning (from Chambers): verb (deracinated, deracinating) formal to root up something; to eradicate it. deracination noun
We are in Words AND Wordplay here, tho' so note that it's also good to play on the idea of taking someone or something away from their roots (or vice versa).
Freshly pulled leeks have to be deracinated before cooking!
Hope your tree is OK, btw.
