Very sad
we just settled our house and was giving away some plants where our new garage is to go
The lovely man who came to take our plants was a horticulturalist so we ( clueless as to plants/trees) were asking about the two lovely trees at the front of our house He thinks they may be elms some type of oak
he said they had been very badly lopped and were now rotten he put his hand almost all the way into both trunks and pulled out what amounted to sawdust and also showed that in the bigger one an exposed root was also rotten
I am so distressed they are gorgeous trees and right in front of our house...
I am also worried as the trees are in front of the kids rooms ( we are going to be moving in soon) and I obviously dont want them to fall on the house
I am going to have an aborist come and look but was hoping to get some advice before then as I cannot get back out to the house til Wed..
