Ralph is the ham I was referring to. Now you have as much as I am aware of. I forgot that Ralph wound a torus around the tree base. He used an old oak which brings song to mind "tie a yellow ribbon around that ole oak tree...".
The question about whether the tree feels the electrical field gets into the whole earth realm of whether flora feel as much a fauna? I would say, "yes". The tree probably feels "excited with an electrifying experience!" :-D
Long term effects on the health of a tree is probably unknown. Mankind generally does not have much empathy for the plant world. We grow it and we harvest it for food or shelter.
