[QUOTE="dsofio, post: 8112929, member: 11799"] I haven't found any great/cheap options for super-wide straps (say 6" plus - or maybe some cargo webbing, but it's not cheap) that I could 'basket' around my tall, spindly avocado trunks (6"-8" in diameter, up about 15').

I want to minimize the roof overhang of the tree, which is now pronounced. The tree is leaning that direction partly because it's seeking light, gets a lot less from the east due to hillside and another tree. If the concept worked, I'd make it semi-permanent with some aircraft cable. Any suggestions for those straps or a better method? Mahalo... [/QUOTE]
