I have used trees for support but not precisely for 50 ft Rohn 25
towers. Avoid "girdling" the tree. Do not wrap cable or other ligature
tightly around the tree. use material like an old bike tire or whatever
to spread the load so the attachment cable or whatever does not dig into
the tree or over a few year's time become embedded in the tree through
new growth. The other tip that comes to mind is to attach to the tree
as low down toward the ground as practical so the tree's motion in a
wind is not sufficient to cause problems.
I'm sure there are things I am overlooking but with luck other
respondents will cover the gaps I left.
I hope you had a very merry Christmas and wish you the best in the
coming new year.

If so what was your method of attachment?
Thanks
