Hello all,

I have a Maple tree that I want to take down due to tree roots getting into
a septic system. Unfortunately I won't have the time to do this until after
Winter due to life and jobs. A friend had told me that he heard if you put
copper nails in the tree it'll die.

First I was wondering if anyone knew if this was true? Also where does one
get copper nails? I've never even heard of them before.

Thanks,

Brian


...But, it is far more dangerous to cut down a dead tree
than a live one. ...


How so????
