other methods

If you do not want anything to score in the tree, there are a few more humane way to achieve the same effect:

• puts in a bucket of rusty nails or screws, and fill with water, and then pour it periodically our trees - as a result of the tree gets the necessary hardware;
• during landing under a tree put any iron object, you can pour the same nails and then the tree just will not suffer from iron deficiency.
