Nice...

How do you feel about that one really long branch in the second picture, the one that appears to be heading over the roof (probably just perspective) what condition is the union to the main trunk, do you feel there is excessive end weight given its length?
I am interested as I get quite a few poincianas to work on, and those loooong branches sometimes give me pause for thought.

I have attached the pics of the old poinciana wound with branch tissue decay, I was amazed at how tight the internal decay column was.
This tree had to come down due to long term issues with the roof and water tank, and they are going to be adding onto the house, construction damage etc. However I still feel sad that such a large tree had to go.
