I am still waiting on the final report from TreeSolutions, but the initial assessment shows a large decay column extending from the ground to about 20 ft. up the trunk, so the tree is hollow. Strength loss is likely significant…which leaves us with 3 options: do nothing, reduce the height of tree, or removal. I’m leaning toward the height reduction option at the moment.

Nice post!
