In a recent removal (latest round of work pics) and countless times before I have wondered should I rig it so the weight falls on the defect side or the non defect side. Often it amounts to what direction will load the spline of the tree (I hope that comes off right) maybe tension and compression side makes more sense.
I'll try to make a example.
tall stem, some lean to opposite side of a defect at about 30 ft with 30ft above defect. Negative rigging what direction should the piece go? Back so the stress is forced over the defect or the other way?
I hope what I'm getting at is clear as mud and I know most times the tree lends itself a clear solution but I'm curious of the science. I have another senerio if this one is not enough to get a discussion started.
Thanks
