Yoicks! That is a monster, and it even has an eye looking at you!

I've had mine die back at the top, then branch like that before, but never that many branches or that big a trunk! Is it still productive?

I usually start new plants and cut down the older trees when they get over about 5 years old.They're either tall and gangly and I can't reach the fruit by then (but the squirrels can . . ) or they get so much less productive it's not worth watering them.
