Then you'd still be interested in the length at 45 degrees, the farthest possible distance.

    The radius of a circle is a fixed distance from its origin at every angle.It's still the same number of milimeters distal of the trunk from the pivot point.

    The concern regarding clearance would be horizontal, parallel to the surface of the Earth, roughly perpendicular to the trunk, so perpendicular distance from the trunk would be what matters. If the branch were fifty miles long but only went straight up, there would be zero horizontal clearance.
