Default Trap Vertical Antenna Questions

I have a tree here in the Tampa Florida area just begging to have a Hustler 4 or 5 BTV stuck in it. I have had great luck with ground mounted Hustler Verticals when I lived near the sal****er of Tampa Bay. I am now in Brandon Florida, east of Tampa, and far from salt water. I have stuck Hustler Verticals in trees before with radials for most bands, but had access to a bucket truck back then, and did not have stents in my heart. I got to thinking WHY not take a hustler vertical with only ONE Tuned "radial" for each band in the form of the lower part of a 1/2 wave dipole. In other words, make the Hustler Vertical into a multi band center fed 1/2 wave dipole. It will be a lot easier to deal with only one radial for each band if they hang straight down the tree vertically. Has anyone ever done this before ?
