Not to say using rope is OK, but tress are pretty darn resilient. Just google search "tree around bike" or "tree around sign". Crazy stuff! We just tend to be over-cautious here, which is a good thing.

The outermost layer inside the bark carries sap from the leaves to the roots. The sap carries the energy needed for the roots to grow. Without the sap from the leaves, the roots won't be able to match the growth of the tree or heal themselves and will die off. Insufficient water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and the leaf end of the tree will die.Originally Posted by tbates92
Awesome didnt know that. Thanks Dave

Here's one for ya from this past February. I spotted this at a bed & breakfast near Yosemite while tending to an organic apple orchard. The cord running to the outlet is completely covered by the growth of the branch. No tellin how long it took for this to happen, but that's definitely grounds for a potential problem if they ever have to cut this tree down.

Behind the house where I grew up there was a tree with the blade from a circular saw implanted half the diameter of the blade into the tree at about 3 stories high. The tree seemed fine, but I bet the guy whose saw spat that blade out at least considered another line of work for a bit.
Seeing people's left-behind ropes always makes me a bit angry. Same with people who tangle their fishing line along a popular spot and just leave it there.
Just saw this on Facebook. It must be an epidemic today. Haha

When I was little my aunt got this idea in her head that she would landscape her yard with trees dug out of the woods on the family's property near my parent's house. She went out and put marker ribbon on dozens of pine saplings and small wax myrtle bushes and never came back to get the actual plants. Years later they all show goofy growths from the ribbon.
It's probably worth pointing out that no all plants are created equal so while many might take this abuse and keep on trucking, others may not fair so well.
