I've been on a finger sized cedar branch right at the collar, 1' over a huge crotch. Stood up to bounce testing and route walking. Shearing a green branch right at the collar is hard.

I like a bit of a wrap, but sometimes go entirely without any wrap. I would go more on bounce testing, consideration of backup branches/ crotches with a base tie, and a good visual inspection. What species are you climbing, Flash?
