Mount a 2m vertical off a tree

[VK4BLP]

I'm looking at getting some elevation to my 2m irlp antenna, and was seriously considering mount it up a tree and offset from the trunk by about 2,000mm

What I'm considering doing is strapping/bolting (loosely) a 4m long 50mm gal pipe as far up the tree as I can, then 2 thirds up it, run a pipe off horizontally to take it away from the tree trunk. At the end of it, a stubby pole going vertically to then attach something like my existing Diamond x-200 vertical off of it.



As you should guess, the taller tree is the one I mean.
