To clear the branches, the coax will be pulling against the center support rope. All the center insulators I've seen have an SO-239, it doesn't seem like putting that strain on a PL-259 is a good idea... Do any have a strain relief??

This is not center supported, but it does support the coax and current 
balun from the feed point.
The ends of the wire need a little trimming but this is what I have:
