Trees are pretty tough!

I was just visiting with my 96 year old Grandpa today and in walking his yard, I asked him why two of his maple trees looked like they had a ring about 6 feet off the ground. Upon closer inspection it was pretty obvious.

He told me that they there was a metal ring around them when they first moved into the house (69 years ago) as it was used as a clothes line way back in the day before he purchased the house and even then they were embedded into the tree!

Pretty amazing they were able to survive this and hard to believe there is still evidence of what caused this so many years later :)
