If it fell to the south, the fence would be a goner, any other issues in that direction? It looks sturdy to me so I wouldn't be very worried about it (based on those two pics).

Michael Cox wrote:If it is an option, I would encourage you to leave a lot more than 6’ of trunk. We left approximately 20’ of a dying beech tree, which was already hollow in places. In the two years since it has picked up a woodpecker nest, and we have seen other birds using the cavity.
Mike Haasl wrote:I believe, if left along, that tree will be standing strong in 40 years. Of course my advice is worth exactly as much as you paid for it Based on the new photos I still think it's quite healthy but I'd also be very interested in other opinions.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
