I am building a fence around part of my property. It will be three strand barb wire on cedar posts. My property has very few natural trees so I would like to keep as many as possible. Unfortunately one of these trees is right on the corner of my property where I need to locate a post. It is large and nice looking so I would not like to cut it down. Putting the post right next to it would be fine but I could never dig through the roots by hand or with a PHD.
I have considered the following options:
1. Nail the wire to the tree (simple, easy, and cheap)
2. Pounding in a pointed stake or steel post next to the tree (might prove difficult or impossible)
3. Cutting the corner and fencing around the tree (not aesthetically pleasing)
Any advice or other suggestions would be welcome.
