K9YC has vertical dipoles in tall trees similar to what you describe. 
You can see information and pictures in his PPT starting at about figure 
60.
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/NCDXACoaxChokesPPT.pdf  It also has lots of 
information on constructing chokes to decouple the coax feed line for 
best performance.
