🚨 ‼️ **NEED HELP!: ** ‼️🚨
Any arborists out there? We just recently had a massive, sickly tree cut down to prevent it from crushing our garage and fucking up our house….
Funny story on that:
Knew from the start that thing was gonna be trouble! It began turning black a year or two after we moved in.
But rewind to even before the sickness, I came across talking to one of the county workers doing public ditch work along the roadway (we are a country road out in the boonies) and he was actually the son of the original owner of the house! They had sold it to a couple who owned it for a few years as a starter home, and they were the owners that sold to us.
Well as he was giving me backstory on this and that of the house and property, he mentions in passing how the tree was a tough son of a bitch because it survived being struck by lightning ⚡️
He said it split the tree in half almost, but they ended up ratchet strapping it back together 🤣 🤠
Somehow, the tree actually did end up regrowing together in the middle.
But apparently never FULLY recovered…
So fast forward to today, the sickness seems to have outlasted the tree itself? Anybody know:
A.) What the sickness was? The tree was turning black on the outside. Not covered in black moss or growth or anything, just the bark and skin turning black. And when the tree was cut down, that middle crack you see was where the sickness seemed to have originated, or was centrally focused. And that middle bit was VERY soft and spongy (making me revel in the decision to finally cut it down! Haha 🕺😅😮💨
B.) Why is it continuing to emit this odd smelly goopy substance? Is it just expelling the sickness out if the trunk and roots now that the tree is dead and gone? Is it still alive and currently sick? Is the fact that it has mover to the outer rings and edges mean the disease is slowly working its way out of the trunk from the origin (the center crack).
C.) Is there something I need to be doing? Will this resolve itself? Should I be helping it along or containing it? Do I need to make or buy anything to put on it?
D.) Is it dangerous? To both humans and animals, really. Because my dog is obsessed with it and will try to lick and eat it if left up to him. He’s a beagle pug mix so FOOD IS LIFE.
