Do trees conduct electricity

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY TREES CONDUCT ELECTRICITY - CALL THE POWER COMPANY !!

It is simple really. Trees conduct electricity and they are connected to the ground. Electric power wants nothing more than to go to ground though any available path (normally we try to force it though lights or motors as it goes to ground, so that we get value out of it, but it really only wants to get to ground). The electric wires running along poles are bare and isolated from paths to ground at each pole by insulators. So when a tree branch touches a wire, electricity gets to do what it wants . . . it flows through the tree to ground.

No trees do not conduct electricity, wood is an insulator not a conductor

I almost said YES trees do conduct electricity. HOWEVER the first post here is technically correct.

Trees when alive APEAR to conduct electricity because of the moisture. When the wood is dried out however then there is no conductivity so therefore trees themselves to not conduct.

from mike.haxeltine@btinternet.com - I am trying validate tree hugging in terms of community health - I am working on gained wisdom that trees produce electricity and can give if out - it appears that rees resonate at 7.8 Hz like soil and out brains - so trees must have some blancing function.

Sap flow in subtle energy terms generates subtle energy like any other liquid flowing through a channel - can it takes energy from humans - will infra red play a part in commnciating this energy - and if that does happen can trees takes in elctromagnetic smog energy and dissapate it into the soil like earthing a lightening strike

Have you formerly tested tree hugging

Have you used Bovis Units to test your resaerch

Have you researched trees are earthrs of electonic pollution

Can I quote your reserach please m ichael

its not technically correct. trees do conduct electricity. trees are made up of cells just like you and i. trees are living things and electricity will pass through them as easily it would through you if you grab a high voltage power line. lumber on the other hand is not a living thing and is made from trees that have been cut down and no longer alive. if you died you would eventually dry out as well. DO NOT GO NEAR A TREE THAT IS TOUCHING A POWER LINE. CALL YOUR LOCAL POWER COMPANY AND THEY WILL MOST LIKELY SEND SOMEONE TO TRIM THE TREE.
