The copper poisons the tree. As long as the copper gets below the bark it
will kill it.

In my past the best way to get rid of any tree is to drill a hole in
the trunk kind of low and insert some thick copper wire in several
places. This always works for me. I just took out a 30 foot locust
tree in 2 mionths like this.

How does that work? Does the copper poison the tree?

Or are you not mentioning the part where you run a million volts
through the copper
