If there's a cavity anywhere near where the central leader takes off from the tree , that may be a golden spot, lmao some of the squirrel bedding ive pulled outa hardwood cavities would make great fertilizers![/QUOTE]
Your right but just trying to have common since who wants to climb a tree 30ft to water check for bugs add nutes etc and do it everyday without neighbors seeing. That's why I suggested pulley no one will see it unless you look at it while people are around

I do for one... This is more of a guerilla (perhaps now gorilla) grow. I don't think I'll have to water every day, I'm using organic soil so I won't be using nutes and you might be surprised by the lack of bugs up there. As I mentioned before, I am a professional arborist so climbing up there at midnight is not a problem. 30 feet straight up a rope might take me 45 seconds at the most.

I have a decent sized Canadian Maple tree in my back yard and some of the upper limbs are hollow. About 2 feet from the hollow knot holes I drove a few big nails through the side and into the hollow then dropped some wire mesh on top and loaded the holes with a couple gallons of a nitrogen hot soil. I know that breaking down wood consumes nitrogen so I loaded it now so hopefully by spring it will have settled down a little. I plan on putting an auto or a clone into each one in the spring and just let it grow up in the tree all summer. Being 30 feet off the ground and surrounded by maple leaves sounds like a great place to me. Is there something I am overlooking here?
BTW, I am also a professional arborist so moving around 30 feet up in a tree isn't a problem.

this is done ALOT in hawaii . totally doable
if you got them close together you can put a water source in the highest tree and bring a long hose :) lived on land in mendo with a 55gal in a tree

have you thought about running a drip system with a hose connection at the base of the tree. would save you climbing every time they need watering and i dont think anyone would notice a length of 1/2' black pipe running up the tree trunk unless they where real close .

I've been toying with the idea of running a small hose down the inside of the hollow tree. It's the logistics of the thing that I need to wrap my head around.
