Hi guys. Hope i'm in the right section for this. Forgive me if not, this is my first post. This oak tree is in the grounds of a property where a gardener friend of mine works. Anyway, on a particularly rainy morning, I packed in my work for the day and popped over to have a cuppa and a look round the grounds. I noticed the cavity at the base and looking closer it appears to be pretty much hollow. Bit concerning as house is only the other side of gravel driveway (see pic1). What sort of prognosis does a tree like this have? How long will it last living only on its buttress roots? Would it be safe enough with a crown reduction/thin? Cheers. Luke.

Just wondering what advice people would have for this Beech I looked at today. At the cavity (pictured) I'd say the main stem is approx 70% hollow accross and hollow from cavity to below ground level . No signs of fungi. The owner would like to retain the tree. Thanks.
