I agree the antenna should not touch any other object.
A curious study at my shack... I have an 80m inverted V running from house to the 2 back corners of my yard. One near one corner is a latch of banana plants. I cut them to the ground after the any freeze and have a nice swr. As they grow my swr changes and I retune after a month. The capacitance of a plant full of water off the side of the wire has a major impact.
The same will be true for any vegetation or other obstruction
