The problem I see with that approach, Rick, is that the clients perceive the threat to be one of potential theft of the material for salvage. Most thieves are too damn dumb to know the difference between real copper and cheap galvanized steel with a copper plate or patina, so they'll hack the thing up anyway.
I suppose you could put the tree in the middle of a pond filled with alligators, or set in a cozy little circle of poison ivy or something...or go with the traditional English moat, perhaps.
