Masses. But, as I warned about a conifer earlier, a dead tree of
that size is likely to rot and fall down within a fairly few years.

Shivver me timbers ! Yes I agree, the montana is v prolific. I planted one
last spring to cover a shed, it's now in flower and some of the branches
increased by 7 feet.
Pity the flowers don't last very long.
