Okey, found one formula that Dr. Gilman used in his study on how pruning affects tree movement under hurricane winds. the study is outline in the Arvboriculture and Urban forestry, volume 34 for January2008. After e-mail exchanges he informed me that this formula may not work for larger trees. Additionally, I found it unusable because they had to weight the folage.
