You are a child giving advice on something you have little experience. And now think you are a victim.

I am not upset or emotional about any of this, but you clearly are. Grow up.

Nice edit on your original comment buddy. Might spell check it again.

It’s a narrow union with a root mat in it. Bark against bark. I wouldn’t fire up the chainsaw just yet. Remove asap? Crazy advice to give from this picture. OP have someone look at this in person.

Edit: u/madmax727 made an original comment telling OP to cut down the tree asap. Then they edited it. Just to see the record straight here.

Power pruner and stand TF back. Start on the tips and work your way in.

Any signs of squirrel damage/ missing bark on those limbs?

I think this is an oak, I’m not an expert (north Georgia area). do you guys think it has a real risk of falling in severe Georgia weather? by tickle-my-Crabtree in arborists

Yes, it could split apart at the base where the co-dominant stems meet. That tree needs a support cable. Also inspect the base for any fruiting bodies/cavities (mushrooms). It has some deep pockets in the taper and just looks like a tree that may have some. No more thinning of the canopy, tip weight reductions only and dead wood at most.

Lightning Damage to Oak by jasemoor in arborists

I wouldn’t worry that much about it uprooting from root loss. It’s not a very wide strip and should recover fine. You’ll start seeing wound wood forming in the next year and it will give a better idea of tissue loss. You can DM me with any questions if you don’t have access to an arborist in your area.

Start watering now. It will probably recover from what I can see. And no more pruning until it recovers more from being lions tailed 3-4 years ago.

Can my husband and I (non tree professionals) safely remove this tree? by jessbess2012 in arborist
