Well, I can say with pretty good assurance that a wooden pole, wet or
dry, doesn't affect the currents flowing through a surrounding aluminum
tube. The currents in the aluminum tube flow on the outside of it.
Whether or not a tree surrounded by a cage of wires an appreciable
portion of a wavelength long behaves the same way depends, I guess, upon
how well the cage of wires actually approximates a tube. Why don't you
model it as Jim Lux suggested and let us know? If it acts like a tube
it would likely be pretty efficient in spite of what I stated earlier.
