Squirrel damage?

Just remember to take a bucket of water with you:thumbup1:

 

 

Seriously though I always look for and ask if there could be any root damage ie utility cable, pipe work,footpaths,driveways etc even if it was 5+years ago when there is die back.

Sorry mate...it was a bit of a "how long is a piece of string? "

Glad you found it informative. Have you an update on the tree in question? I relish the opportunity to feel important and knowledgeable ...it doesnt happen very often eh!
