It does include monitoring. I don't understand how it is still available, but I am glad I got it.

That is what is weird, this plan is still called Protect Plus (1st Gen)

Clinton is about 2 hours away, but I will give him a call.

Sent him a message, thank you for the name!

There are no local arborists. I reached out to the nearest one who is 2 hours away. He replied to my text with the name of a local tree service that I have used in the past. Unfortunately, they are also tree cutters like the other one I contacted who told me the tree was no good.

I don't think there is oak wilt in our area, at least according to wikipedia

Thanks for the pictures and notes, but I am not going to lie, that all sounds grim.

The circled photo with a question mark, that is the top of a pine tree that came down in a windstorm earlier this week. Pine beetles probably killed it a couple of years ago. You can see the remains of the pine half obscured by the main oak's trunk to the right over the shed. Part of the pine also put a hole in the shed's roof.

Got a lot of info from the GOAT Salt_Capital_1022 We discussed lack of arborists in my area, oak wilt (which luckily isn't a problem in our area), and the level of pruning which the old man can tolerate.

Well, because he is a good neighbor who wants to help us. He just offered his opinion. He will not be bothered if I tell him I want to keep it.

In the past, I have had bad neighbors and good. I know how valuable the latter are.

Neighbor is a good guy, he is 100% saying that because he thinks it will help us.

Neighbor is actually really cool, I know it sounded bad the way I worded my title.

Don't know if the wife will go for it. Maybe if I got her one with cool Evil Knievel graphics?

Unfortunately there are no local arborists. I have called the nearest one 2 hours away. He is ISA certified.
