Depending on some conditions, trees can ricochet bullets. Especially knots in the wood.
The tree is not defense, the tree is offense!

Depending on the age of the tree, it can def stop a 9mm from a glock. With the right thickness, it will probably stop civilian grade 5.56 rounds as well

So don't get into a firefight for at least 20 years after you plant the trees, gotcha

Hence your grandaddy's old gun, implying that the trees were planted at least a whole generation ago.
