Redwood dieback

Some feedback on what a few arbtalkers think on this tree.

I have my opinions, the tree officer has his and they are very different on what the course is and how to deal with it so a few more opinions would be interesting.

enterance to a school, no recent ground works, 90% of ground under the crown is grass, no fruiting bodies have been observed and it turned from fully green to this over a period of about 2 weeks acording to the groundsman.

Honey Fungus ? Recently took one down that was a victim .

[Gray git]

no sighn of fungus on any of the trees near this one or any fruiting bodies, had a quick look for bootlase rizamorphs(prob spelt wrong) and didnot find any.

Anyone had a bonfire on the side that is brown?

[Gray git]

Nope

similar to my thoughts but coming from opp direction

Strange, could be wind scorch, or might even be a lighting strike...

lightning strike

Ah at last the same as my thoughts.... not aphid attack anyone?????

Now to the trees future the school feels they dont want it to go but in its place it will not be safe to leave alone so i thought removal of all dead branchwood for now and see how the rest of the tree fairs.... not leave it alone and it will green up again next year as someone has told them
