    They can live for a long time with hollow centers but they don't always do well standing up to Northeasters and hurricanes. Good to cut them down when it is convenient.

    Old beer cans that's about it. Oh and a giant piece of metal that destroyed 32" chain. I had just sharpened it too. Oh well that's why I bring more than one loop
