Tree Trouble

Remember the gigantic tree in our new yard?  The historical registry White Oak tree dating back to the Civil War?  The one I was so proud of?  Bad news. 

We noticed that it wasn’t looking as healthy as it should be, so we called two different tree experts to have a look and offer their professional opinion.  Both concurred that the tree is dying from the inside out and it must come downL  I am so sad about this.  This tree was the major curb appeal of this property, and it was the first thing I noticed when we made an appointment to see the house.  It’s such a shame. 

Since the tree is so colossal it poses a grave danger should any dead limbs fall on the street or in the yard--or multiple neighbors' yard.  In fact, they will have to hire traffic controllers to stop traffic on the road just to remove it.  We got two estimates—one is about $5,000 and the other $8, 920.00
