Copper earth electrode use "banned"?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
New one on me, looked at caravan/camp site yesterday and client adverse to use of copper clad electrodes as he is attributing the death of his Lime trees (Tilia oliveri) and Red Oak trees (I missed his Latin designation for these and couldn't find it) to the use of buried copper.


He knew his trees and I wondered if anyone else had heard of this?

    I have about 10 meters of bare 15mm copper plumbing tube radiating from my amateur radio mast as a RF earth. It's buried about 1ft deep and runs close to Apple (malus domestica) and alder (alnus) with no discernible affect. Think I'd prefer a well buried copper rod or pipe for a safety earth to avoid people death!
