/well thanks for that effort, but...
1. I don't want to drill through the trunk below the defect.
2. The hose at the top crotch might not be enough to prevent damage, given the load on it.
3. I don't understand the physics involved. Something seems a bit off, and it is not in standards or bmp's.

hey quercus, we are talking about blocks of concrete IN, not ON the ground, right? Hence "tree-to-ground".
