Possible dum question alert!

I've been thinking about verticals lately, and am curious about a
vertical for 80 meters.

Specifically, I am wondering about putting a vertical in one of my trees
in the yard. I have *big* trees, 80-90 feet tall, and could put a full
1/4 wave vertical in one of the huge oak trees just outside the shack.

What is more, it is one place in the yard that I can get radials in more
than one direction.

I've looked on the web to see if anyone else has done this, and I've
seen some references to other types, but the lack of 1/4 wave verticals
for this makes me suspicious.

Anyone done this, or is there a reason why it won't work?
