What's the current thinking concerning HF verticals and trees. Do trees have
any effect on ground mounted (with radials) verticals, such as the 4, 5, or
6BTV series? If there is some effect, what minimum safe distance should a
vertical be away from the trees? My particular lot has trees pretty much
everywhere I could mount a vertical antenna. Most are 60 foot plus trees.

Thanks for any thoughts,
