It appears that there is rot down inside the trunk at the top, but I am not sure how far down inside the trunk it goes, until we start trimming the rotten parts off the top.There are some parts of the base of the trunk that do not sound solid when checked with a hammer. The tree is in a problem spot:it is next to the driveway, has overhead power lines and communication lines, is close to the Jakin's home, near a small slope and a seasonal stream.This tree will have to be either roped down strategically or we may need to bring a crane in to bring it out.This will all be decided at a later date,once permission to trim or remove this tree is granted by the city. Our first option is to trim out the dead limbs and trunk parts and then trim out the hazardous limbs that are attached to any rotten trunk parts.This will make the tree safer for the home owner,their home and driveway and help prevent damage to the power lines,communication lines and neighbors house.Our primary goal is to leave as much tree as possible. If we can accomplish this by leaving a large part of the trunk with some side limbs to support some active tree growth,this would help maintain the root system longer to stabilize the soil and slope. If the tree trunk is rotten all the way down into the base,then we may need to remove the entire tree, to avoid damage to property should the trunk fail.This would be a last resort. If we do any of this work,we will need to bring these pieces down and deposit them in the area below and to the north east of the base of the tree.We will clean up,chip and remove all the smaller debris, cut the larger wood into rounds,and leave them for a wood haul company to remove after we are finished with the work. All this work will be completed by EverGreen Tree Care. ETC has been in business since 1986, is licensed, bonded and insured and a member of the BBB.
