You sound to get a lot of bad ones Chris. Do you ever set up a highline for them, or typically just climb the bad one with have a swing "planned", just in case?
Seems like the other half of the tree above the split is going to be close to strong as before in some co-dominant tear-outs/ splits. The balance of leverage on the root plate and trunk down below the split is going to be different. I see trees like this, and Fi's and think its not much...
Is it a rigging tree, Fi?
I have done a willow or four that were really bad, but at the time, I was feeling bulletproof (and broke). I got a bucket for one tree that was tipping toward the house, day by day (or so the Custy said). I had to lower some stuff.
