Very interesting video, that tree was just hanging on. It’s always amazing to see all the witness marks of a long life out in nature.

If there wasn’t a house right below it I would’ve just left it for habitat for wildlife. However, since there was a house down hill below it I believe you made the correct decision to remove the entirety of the tree.

Woodpeckers peck holes in dead pines and oaks to store acorns in the little holes and live inside the big holes. I work with blue oaks and see woodpecker acorn pantries and houses all the time.

That poor tree has probably been doing everything it can to just barely hang on for the past 50 years.

While we appreciate the wisdom and experience in VTA. Could we progress to more quantification in terms of resistance drills and sonic tomography at the key zones like bifurcations and trunk base?

Sad thing too, is if this tree was in the middle of nowhere, it could be left to live out its days. But in the middle of houses, it’s not possible.

Sad, but a good call, I think. Blair, I wonder if you'd like to look at a situation in the north of the UK, where a Sycamore tree (Acer pseudoplatanus) had grown in a dip between two hills right next to an ancient wall built by a Roman Emperor. This much loved 'Sycamore Gap' tree has been felled by a member of the public and there's a HUGE outcry as it was very beautiful and photogenic. To date, there have been two arrests but no charges. You'll be interested to take a look at the story.

It depends on the problem. If the tree is dying from the top down, sometimes, that’s a last resort to prolong the life of the tree.
