I have a customer who is concerned about a 30”+ Doug-fir with a significant lean over their garage/ mother in law apartment. The tree is visually in superb health: no signs of rot or decay on the trunk, full green canopy. Especially concerning is that a similarly sized tree in his backyard snapped in half during a windstorm this year, again a visually solid tree with no rot in the stem.
Having never cabled a tree this large, what are the communities thoughts? Is that even a worthwhile pursuit or is complete removal out best option? Safety is number one priority, although leaving the tree intact would be ideal.
