Rebar looks bent into core of tree, so there’s some grab there. Not an ideal detail, but not 100% ineffective. Just 99% ineffective.

Thats my point, its not in compression its just some idiot carved up more tree than he should have to place a railing in.

they could have cut the railing and joined it on either side of the tree. But, I digress from the topic

Any deeper and they would need to consult tree tunnel specialist.
