US Constitution Bicentennial Living Witness Trees

Yes, we had our meeting with the crane operator to review the crane specs, set up and communications. On to the cutting plan. The challenge with this is in what order to remove the limbs given the cabling and trunk condition. Decay show up extending to the west northwest side of the trunk. While there's only 20% decline in strength according to the tomography, it just leaves me with a feeling that the limbs need to come off in a manner that doesn't change the overall balance of the loading. Cables remain under tension on many of the limbs and run in a manner that could create counter balance. These limbs are 40' and longer. The aim is to remove them in one piece and manage their dismantling on the ground for transport.
