Why?    Becasue some sort of flexible connection that allows the tree to 
flex in the wind without stressing the wire is important. Even some 
loops made out of cable wraps are easy to install especially the ones 
that have a screw hole to allow the loop to be fastened to the tree.  
Putting a Beverage wire over a branch or a limb is not a good idea since 
the tree will eventually envelope the wire as it grows.  Or the limp 
will chafe the insulation of the wire causing even further problem.
