@Bermy after this scratch I wonder if I should lighten the top of the branch by light pruning and supress the prop? Others props seem to have really set well in their spots. Willl load some pics soon from that

Update on south european oak. # Some strong winds came and prop n5 has moved, ripped a hole in the lower/side of branch visible on pic 1 # A climb was required...and what fun that was # Readjusted the prop pic 2 # Came down to center of this giant and found my reward👍 2...
