I was asked that question.
Will a mark on the tree change when tree grows taller?

It will grow 23% diagonally and 89% horizontally after 3 seasons, usually with a 4-5cm lateral growth occurrence (LGO) after 5 seasons. Occasionally (depending on the tides, solar temperature, ect) it will show signs of hyberarborination but it only occurs in species below the tropic of cancer and above the 17th parallel.
But then there is the Mactisuousi subspecies but that is a whole other thread.

let me add that it will not, however, move up (away from the ground).
Some things, like if someone carves graffiti in the bark of some trees, may change some but will remain readable, probably as long as the tree stands. I see some 30 odd years old and it looks the same. Just higher.

Then you must see them on very weird trees! Secondary growth is only radial in trees, only apical growth adds length (height).
Birch or beach, with white bark, maintain markings pretty clearly. They don't really distort all that much for very long periods of time. I'm certain if you took a mircometer to one when it was first marked and came back 30 years later you'd find a difference. But I think if you took photos and compared by eye you would have a hard time seeing it. It certainly doesn't become hard to read. I know places where people carved their initials and dates into trees as much as 40 years ago and it's perfectly readable.

yeah, yeah, I know. I was referring to your claim:
that is simply not possible in 'normal' trees.
