Bracing/guying with trees on Guam

[Island Lescure]

Bit of a reverse method but hey, the power pole is probably more likely to fly off than the tree.

 

For anyone interested, it is a Calophyllum inophyllum.

 

P.S. Despite having only one arborist on the island and typhoons every other year, the trees there look much better than the topped tragedies afflicting the UK.

That is the most pointless tree bracing I have ever seen.

 

More than likely to keep the power line up.

If I didn't know anymore details, I'd guess that what it was for ?
