We've been caring for this tree, believed to be +/- 200 yrs old, for more than forty years we've lived here. Took care to have trimming, cleaning out done only after a killing frost to reduce chances of oak wilt. Sadly, we detected the beginnings of foundation issues so it has to come down.
. No date yet, but it won't be long. Circulated an email to the neighborhood list to prepare everyone.
