Thanks, Paul.

Yes, unfortunately, the Redbud lost its main two lower branches in a
windstorm.  Its wood seems to be even more brittle than dogwood.  I planted
this particular tree quite some time ago, in  a location where another tree
had recently died, so I suspect the soil and light conditions are poor, and
are factors in the manner in which this tree has developed.  (There is a
reason they named our street Shale Hill Road. <G>)
