If you choose to do it that way, I'd suggest that you attatch your belay line somewhere in front of you.
It gives you more control should a situation arise that you need to manage it.

I was belayed into the tree my first time pruning pines when I worked for the conference center about 6 years ago. It's a good backup system for initial ascents. As I progressed I'd lanyard and biner different limbs to clip into. Wasn't entirely too different from a crag climb, technologically speaking.

I think that flip I got was 12' or 14' The extra footage came in handy from time to time.
