Thank you for your suggestion! Metasequoia, I’ll have to see it in person. Will definitely consider. Im going to look for something I can climb and rig to, something pretty, non-evergreen and definitely wet soil or verticilum resilient. Pin oak has been awesome, but dont want another. Sweet...

I took some AGMA mountain guide and rescue classes that help with rigging. Local climbing gyms will offer similar things.

Amateur guess, maybe a Wax Myrtle.

I have inherited a badly diseased tree in the last month. I'm looking to identify the issues and cure the disease. If the disease is not curable I will be taking the tree down myself with rigging equipment. Pictures: (Tree and branches) http://s216.photobucket.com/user/lalabby/slideshow/tree...
