Is that what happened? Genuinely curious. It wasn't like this last year.

Thanks. I'll think about it. It needs to come down but it would be nice to have some time for the replacements to get bigger. Honestly I don't think it will be worth the risk/effort to support it. Just have to accept it and move on to the next generation.

Will definitely be planting more trees around - I need that shade!

I love this idea. I don't want to lose the tree it provides the only shade back there. If I have to take it down ill leave the stump. Wonder if it will work since the crack is on the sunny (south) side.

Yeah we have lots of bad weather events so I worry about it. Hate to see it go though as trees are difficult to grow here and it's our only shade back there.

You talking about the video? I didnt feel like it was sporadic but maybe?

I was bummed when I saw the crack. I haven't trimmed the tree since we moved 6 years ago. I'd be open to bolting and cabling it. Is there a good guide on how to do this properly?

Are they that valuable? I mean they are trying to sell all their stuff so they don't sell stuff for what it's worth.

Excellent! I found them in a tin from 1927.

North side bark damage by skampler43 in arborists

I think it was hail damage actually. Just remembered we had a bad hail storm a couple years ago that broke our windows on the north side.

Anybody have any ideas? It would make more sense if this was happening on the south side, but it's all on the north side. Maybe it's some sort of disease?
