Yes, common isn't it, look after your tree whilst it's green not brown, prune it before it fails not after.
Also Trev, this is part of that "do gum tree shed limbs" issue and the ole "lop them" to make them safer falacy. This is a great example of how those concepts do so well to the lay person.
Also, from my 0.02, large matures are the likely candidates as weight does become an issue. |
Branch for branch its heavier than any other tree i can think of.
Lots of water in the wood, thick dense canopy, leathery foliage and loads of huge gum nuts. They dont shed all the nuts so over 50 years they get a massive build up.
