I don't know the story of this tree - but I'm sure someone here does. I saw Harry at the show and I should have asked him. There is that one tiny live vein that runs all the way up that magnificent deadwood. He may just be letting it go to strengthen it?
Had you asked him, he would have just said "Yeah...Yeah" before walking away. He has no patience for youngsters teaching him about his trees.
If I was 95, I would probably be the same. If you ask Harry, life is too short to waste it on wiring.
But if you think about that tree though, it looks like a small tree growing on a ledge. It's a landscape from a distant view, so, it is fine the way it is. The deadwood is not supposed to be part of the tree. It is the ledge that supports the tree.
Harry has a few trees that are just too priceless to belong to any individual, when Harry decides that it's too much for him to care for them. They will probably end up in one of the major public collections, here in California. Hopefully, the Huntington, close to my house.
