Andrew: Sometimes the only way I can get a true reading on a tree is to look at the bark on the branches near the crown. The active climbers always see a closer view of the branch canopy. Some of the branches on the 4-redMapleLimb look like boot branches. Boot branches never stay in the same place very long so they are unique.
