[QUOTE="buzz sawyer, post: 8226469, member: 9385"] I see two problems. 1. The tree is in a very poor location - which came first, the tree or the driveway? If the driveway was added later, were roots cut to make room? 2. I see several spots where fairly large branches were cut off. It is a silver maple, slow to compartmentalize wounds and prone to rot where the large branches were removed. The rot will work it's way down into the trunk, weakening it. I hate to remove a healthy tree but as it gets larger, it will cost more to remove it. [/QUOTE]
