Default Re: Major failure. If only they acted earlier.

So its not easy to tell from here...

Is it salvageable?

A lady in Tigard, Oregon, had a gorgeous silk tree - huge - with on of those triple "tri-dominance" attachments.

Told her it needed bracing, and she skipped it. 5 months later, the winter wind and a little ice ripped off one of the three leaders.

It needed all three, or no remedy. Equally arranged. Any of the three goes, and no way to cable any remaining two.
