Part of the Lake Street reconstruction includes planting new trees and putting in new lighting. This week they added the wiring of the new trees for lighting.
So guess what they used to "snake" the wire up the tree trunk to the junction box attached to the tree? Copper tubing. It looks quite lovely and they wound the copper tubing decoratively around the tree.
What has been recently in the news? Copper being stolen from construction sites or even existing homes and buildings. Someone even cut the power cord from an appliance I left for the garbage to pickup.
How long do you think those copper tubes with their copper wires inside will last?

and, for what it's worth - if you want to kill a tree, bring copper in contact with the sap. So any damage to the tree from wrapping may be fatal.
