Hello all - As part of a long-term forest dynamics plot, we are tagging individual trees and tree ferns (Cibotium spp.) in Hawaiian forests. I'm wondering if anyone with experience tagging tree ferns can tell me 1) if you've had any problems with nails coming loose or being pushed out, or 2) if there is any evidence that puncturing the hard inner core damages the individual. Many thanks for any help, Lisa
