The Money Tree

So, I have no real job as of yet so there is theoretically a lot of time to blog it up. Theoretically. In real life I spend these 'days of no money' watching tv. So, here's another terrible idea I had with no practical purpose. Have you ever seen a tree that grows near a fence? Sometimes the tree will grow completely around the fence. I want to take that principle and make a money tree. Here's how its gonna go down. Every month or so I want to take a steel band and strap it to the trunk of a tree. Underneath the band will be quarters. Lots of quarters. Then as the tree grows, these quarters will become part of the tree. After I'm dead in like a hundred years, someone will chop the tree down and all these quarters explode from their arborous domicile. Or maybe they won't explode and nobody will notice until they burn the tree and find quarters all over their fireplace. Or maybe the tree will die of natural causes (or unnatural causes due to the amount of metal lodged in it) and then there will be quarters in a straight line on the ground when the tree decomposes. I just got another idea. What if I banded steel rods or titanium rods to the tree vertically? Would that become a super tree? Like, you know how trees sway in the wind, well this one wouldn't. It would be really really stiff. I wonder if that's bad for trees...I already considered pennies instead of quarters but copper poisoning might have killed it before the experiment was over. I think that when I have some land I'm going to like to plant trees and do weird experiments with them. Like splicing and making them grow in weird directions...or making two trees form into one like 20 feet up in the air. That would be neato. A tree a year...or maybe more. Maybe one tree I would put car tires around every year until it was too big to get one around it. Then there will be another tree with steel plate embedded to look like a serpent swimming up it and every couple years the serpent will 'grow'. Do you think a tree will die if you drill a hole through it? Maybe I could have a pierced tree and then I could put some other type of flowery plants inside the tube going through the tree. Like a flowering oak tree.
