Treeseer, do what you gotta to do. My assessment on the the soil is based on your statement about the driveway. What you call a burl, is what I would call a root reaction to compacted soil.

As far as anchoring the top of the crown to ground, thats between you and the owner of the tree. Personally, I wouldn't want guy wires all over my yard.

For the weight of advantageous growth that is poorly attached, it still weighs the same as the parent material, which is in the 62 lbs/cu.ft and grows like crazy.

I see the tree as a semi-mature tree, that has had a major event that caused the top of the central leader to go into survival mode. All the more power to ya if you can bring her back.

Good luck!
