Definitely look at hinge width, defects, and COG to inform hinge placement.

Ya, that's the other problem, pulling them out. I can climb doug- fir up to about 30-36" dbh in pole spurs, fine. Been on them for 17 years. Had tree spurs for 16 years, getting a great deal on TiBucks, or whatever they are called, 6-8 years ago. Chunking thick wood with a big saw...

Especially as an exotic plant in a limited root zone, I would guess that the larger it gets, the more difficult it will be to healthy.

Thanks for your work, @Brandon !!

Any minimum trunk size for a GRCS?
