I carefully “operated” this deeply ingrown plastic insulator out of the tree—a process that took nearly an hour and a lot of torque in the hands.

The real issue was that the tree had never been able to fully heal or close over the wound, as the insulator had blocked natural growth for years. The bark was deliberately chipped away, and the insulator driven deep into the center—an act of clear, intentional damage to both the tree and our property.

Documented. Removed.
Now it’s time for proper healing.
