I just bought a house where the people before me inserted zinc-coated, steel
eye bolts into 2 trees to support a hammock. It seems that the trees are
growing fine. In fact, it looks as thought the trees are growing around the
bolts. My question is 2-fold: Was it a bad idea by the owner to insert the
bolts? Should I do anything about the bolts now? Please e-mail me at
