I few months ago I got some idea from you guys about building a prop for a small apple tree. The prop was eventually built, installed, and the client is super happy with it. (old apple tree made it through some CRAZY wind storms we had in December)
Well, I'm at it again. I have a client with a much bigger tree this time. I want to run the tree and the design by you guys and see what improvements y'all can make.
First, here's a couple pictures of the tree. They aren't the best pictures for getting the whole picture but you're clever, you'll figure it out.
The tree is about 35' tall and spreads about 30' wide. It's an Italian stone pine (Pinus pinea). The trunk is approx 36" dbh, depending on how you're measuring that. For frame of reference, the shed is about 8x8x8.
At first it looks like the tree fell on the shed. That is not the case. The tree has been very slowly lowering itself onto the shed. The client said it's been about a decade since they noticed the tree touching the shed. Note the limbs in the canopy are all pointing straight up as you'd expect in a "normal" upright tree.
