good question; mine was just a quick pro bono look so far, requested after the school got an opinion from an arb who did trimming there.

 

given the rapid decline and duplicaiton of canopy benefits and apparent root rape, there seem to be few other worthy options.

Can you further explain the "duplification of canopy benefits" please?

yes tha twas a poor phrase.

 

It's surrounded by other larger healthier trees of the same species, so its shade etc value is not that significant. as it has been pruned back, its neighbors are spreading to occupy that airspace. see image.

 

And yes, "root rape" is technical jargon in these parts.
