Note - that hazard reduction job was on a Forest red gum - Eucalyptus tereticornis, done August last year)
The tree had a major limb failure (summer break) due to biomechanical constraints (limb elongation, with pronounced supporting wood) and wood embrittlement due to drought stress (dehhydrated wood).

9 hour job with clean up, I shared the climbing (we did a side each) with a long time collueague Dave Gallichan (from Guernsey, ex Merrist wood tree man).

The pic on header (me as climber) is the tree during the reduction -
