So in pic 1, if you fell all the other big trees, the 1 in the middle might be left a bit open to the wind.

And in the last pic, the big goofy branch might break, and if it does it will hang down.

 

Glad your here Hammy,

Want to tell me why in particular this chestnut is prone to such an issue as exposure? smart arse:001_rolleyes:
