So I know these are non-native crepe myrtle trees, but they probably took many years to get this big, so I want to keep them. I hate the look of the rebar stuck in the trees. I can get them cut, but I started getting very scared of using a metal grinder. I'm not that experienced of a DIYer. Would an arborist have the tools and desire to do this for money?
The tree with the three small pieces of metal is likely like that because path lights used to be on top of the little rebar pieces. I can at least bend two of the three small pieces, but one is completely stuck. The tall piece on the first tree is completely stuck as well, If that's not obvious.
I'm open to any advice here! I can add photos of the whole tree, which is in the rules, but I'm only asking about the metal rods.
