Wire Embedded in Tree Trunks: Why You Must Not Saw It Out

The Danger

A builder left wire supports on fir trees until they became embedded. Sawing the wire severs water-conductive tubes under the bark, severely damaging the tree.

Correct Action

Clip the wire where it emerges from the trunk and leave the embedded portion. The tree will compartmentalize the damage over time.

Prevention

Use only 1-inch wide nylon strap for guying. Never use wire, even inside hose. Remove all guying material within one year.
