Joyce Coomer: On Fencing. There is also an issue of money 'Everything dies eventually, and if trees have lived 50 years or longer with fencing attached to them, apparently using them as a support for a fence doesn't hurt them . . . From my observations through the years, trees used as fence posts have a much longer lifespan than those that are brutally mangled under the misguided theory of "saving" them, so we need to be complaining about extensive, unnecessary trimming of trees (which most often kills them because they are trimmed too much) and the unnecessary removal of trees for any reason, instead of complaining about someone using a tree as a fence post. ' - JOYCE COOMER Click on headline for complete commentary By Joyce Coomer Personal Commentary There were trees on the farm where I grew up (and on many farms around) that had to be at least 75 to 100 years old or even older, judging from their girth, and that sometimes had three or four types of fencing attached to them; apparently putting holes in the trees (I never saw sap coming out of those holes in the spring time.) didn't bother these particular trees. Everything dies eventually, and if trees have lived 50 years or longer with fencing attached to them, apparently using them as a support for a fence doesn't hurt them.
