Thanks for your advice TreeBay - heaps of infor i NEED to take on board being a beginner, very informative.

This being the case and the drastic pruning occuring only 3 weeks ago should i root prune or leave it.

The branch isnt cracked and remains in good shape

I have kept the same watering conditions so i will monitor and adjust the load as advised.

Also, would the top area shot again - even from the truck or is there a need to think about a new leader, im hoping it'll shot but the apex is DRY DEAD
