A brief photoessay on a reduction to mitigate risk due to a defect. pic 1 shows the defect, pic 2 before reducing the codom, pic 3 after, pic 4 the brushpile. The main leader was also side-reduced to allow the reduced codom to grow straighter and not spread as much.
Yes, the risk could have been reduced without reducing the lead as much, by cabling. but I also wanted to free up the tupelo across the driveway, and solve the potential problem permanently without anything artificial. Pics next, I'm out of time...
