Wendel here to remove tree in our yard. Asked for opinion on city tree, subject of previous posts. Tree rotten from ground to 3 feet high on street side of tree . Hollow at ground level for about 6 inches on street side of tree.

I've shipped this request on to our Tree Co. for a re-assessment.

Seems so much worse now.

The tree was re-assessed by Davey Tree. It has been placed on their "watch list" for now.

Ants have continued to make situation worse, but I am aware that this tree is on a watch list. Would be negligent for me to close.

Getting worse!

My impression from a conversation with Davey Tree was that the tree is definitely at risk. Hopefully, if it falls, it won't fall on one of the many visitors to Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve.
