    when you have climbed for years you get very confident - then you have to make sure you don't get complacent:001_smile:

    I think all things considered the risk is too high for bracing however if the client is aware bracing is an option but cannot be guaranteed, and he goes ahead with it - that's fine

    two problems I can see - first the flooding issue -established trees don't react well to sudden changes to soil moisture levels that remain continuous - be it dry to wet or wet to dry. I think high concentration of the chemicals /elements in the waste water is a big issue too.

    if I can sum it up in one sentence, anchorage is available on the other side - the roots adapt to it - though I would judge each situation by its own merits -
