I need a photo of a branch

Can anyone help please.

 

If you had a clump of self set Sycamores and just say you took the ones away from the perimeter and left the ones in the centre it's quite possible there would be a few spindly branches which had grown out through the canopy searching and reaching for light and these branches would have very little strength to support themselves and sway profoundly even in slightest breeze does anyone have a pic of this scenario.

 

I am trying to explain to a disbeliever that this can happen.

swaying in the breeze is ok - if not, would snap, and swaying encourages girth. perhaps as an analogy, when, in forestry, a perimeter is felled, then the inner section will be vulnerable to strong winds, and this can be seen occasionally when swathes of trees come down in a storm. also if a building or group of trees are felled, those trees protected from the prevailing winds become vulnerable. also point out that the annual rings are broader on the side facing the prevailing winds. trees are economical, they do what they need to stay upright, no more than.
