All the other trees I tried in this area were negative also.  I have no idea why.  I asked others around the country to try it to compare and no one else did so I have no idea if all trees are like this or just some.

Very interesting indeed! ...it would be great to know more some time.

Just about anything can be used as an antenna - the idea is an ideal conductor though. ..having a tree as antenna means unusual electronic distribution.

I built an array, which was basically just nine nail driven slightly into the tree to reach below the bark, and wired them together with copper wire and tested to the ground using only my probe tip.

But, anyone can test this using only their probe tips.  Stab one into the tree and the other into the ground, if you get a minus sign on the reading, reverse the probes.

I remember catching a lot of crap for "injuring" the trees although when I was done, I was able to pull the nails out by hand and I am sure the tree suffered no ill effects.  If the tree did scream, I did not hear it.

Folks should still try this simple test.

This probably has a bit to do with the chemistry of the nails vs the tree sap, it is interesting that ground was positive though, did you try a nail to nail measure where one was in the tree and the other nail was in the ground _ this would effectively neutralize that sort of phenomenon wouldn't it?

How about cabbages?

Good question.  But, no, I did not.  However, I did try just the meter probes before I made the array.  You can do that too.  Anyone can.  I think it would be interesting to see results from others around the globe to see how that compared with mine.  Just use your probes off the DMM and see what you get?

As I understand it, the draw from the line is insignificant amounts of current with moderate amounts of voltage.
Here you go, look at this:

Pounding two rods into the ground would have the same effect as an earth battery, even without the power lines overhead or using house wiring to do the same thing inside a building with a long, insulated wire.

I build an earth battery setup in a large city surrounded by power lines and still got only 2 volts on an analog VOM.

I think we had already determined that the earth battery would only produce the same low output as in any other earth battery location.  The folks above mentioned that a suspended set-up would yield better results.
