How about a couple of Pole Beans fed from the middle, as they grow you can
tune longer bands.

By hearsay and legend -- In W W 1, an Army Field manual recommended feeding
a tree for an antenna when the real antennas were shot down.

Since I am not aware of any 50 ohm trees (hi-hi), probably use ladder line
and a tuner.

And remember, as an old timer discovered when he loaded his bed springs ---

Let us know which trees worked best (:-)
