Even with a substancial reduction even if you had have done it before it fell..... 1. Would it have been safe to do so? 2. How much time would you have thought it would buy the tree? Not much by the looks of the roots or lack of I suppose the course of action was due to where the tree was, for it would have been managed differently in a town location
