Anyone know anything about trees? This old apple tree in my garden which produces hundreds of not-great-tasting apples every year looks like it’s in a bit of a state. I had to cut back a weird horizontal branch that had been partially cut before, and there’s a ton of rot.

It’s not in danger of hitting any buildings if it ever does fall, although could maybe take out a distracted child or two if I’m lucky.

Anything I can do to save it?

The home owner in this posh neighborhood should have consulted with the City a more, if he was concerned about #fire risk. The fire department would have advised him about what less-expensive measures he could have taken to foster Defensible Space. Instead, he shelled out probably $1000s to an #arborist to denude the parcel. Now he'll have combustible ruderal #grass and #shrubs to worry about. #UrbanForest
