[QUOTE="poorboy, post: 545947, member: 1294"] I will usually always put an available tree as my corner. I have only had a few problems so far. One being the 15ga ht wire will get eaten up by hickorys in about 6 years give or take. The second problem is that one tree that is also a line tree and has been nailed into for over a hundred years finally got hit by lightening and a little is dying each year and falling out. And lastly, when using them as a corner post some species don't tolerate being girlded as a terminal end. In this case I have found using a couple of 2x4 treated boards nailed on will help with the prolong the death of the tree :P . [/QUOTE]
