lol, yup. Shunned.

Good information! Love his explanations.

Challenge accepted! Good job Nolan.

you may have an eighty year old oak with included bark for forty of those years that stood just fine. It could be fine for many more if everything stayed the same. But the removal of another tree that was protecting it from wind could be its down fall. Or a greater amount of ice with a strong wind may be more than it can handle. Even a wind from an unusual direction has been know to break or up root even well structured trees. A thorough consideration of all the factors should be taken into account before making a judgement on the trees risk to people a things.

Probably one of the biggest factors that Chang over time to create higher chance of failure.
