More snippage

After the hole is through, slide in a piece of All-Thread, flange it with
some sheet aluminum (and maybe a couple of rubber bumpers to be a little
kinder to the bark) and add nuts. Attach your guy wire to the protruding
end of the All-Thread.

Trees will tolerate being drilled. I mounted a garden hose rack on a
tree
about 20 years ago; tree and hose rack still doing fine as of this
afternoon.

Mounting a garden hose rack isn't the same as anchoring a guy wire for a
50' tower.
