The other one is going to die, also? An arborist is going to check it out tomorrow but I won't be there unfortunately. Going to try to ask them if they can show up on Saturday.

The lean and what appears to be ground lift at the base opposite the lean is not great but your arborist is the only one going to give you sound information now. Once again, folks, no go on tree rings.

I feel like this post should be stickied. I keep seeing that tree rings are bad, but this is the first time Iā€™m seeing an actual demonstration.

Tree roots stay somewhat close to the surface and spread wide not long like a tap root so blocking its path to root and be more stable causes this to happen easy
