    I have a question that I know nothing about but if someone was able to put a piece of metal, say a piece of rebar, into a tree without harming it, then that’s means nobody would be able to cut it down right? Or at least damage more equipment than the tree is worth. Sounds possible but I have no idea and don’t know how you would do that type of thing.

      Not gonna work. They’re living beings like you, that sort of thing causes infections, by the time that a blade would hit something like that, it would likely kill the tree regardless.

      Trees with rebar in them are cut all the time. Loggers are trained to examine the trees for signs before cutting into it - your rebar will leave visible scars for years, and the logger will see those signs and cut in a different area to avoid it.

      I am a trained logger - I volunteer with a local youth camp clearing dead trees.
