I have a consultation with a homeowner in a few minutes. He thinks that the city sewer guys may have killed his oak with root dissolving chemicals. He says they repaired the sewer line, which runs inside the root zone. He's not sure but he thinks they poured root dissolving chemicals through the line. I called them to see what they use, and they use two products - RedHot and BurnOut. Anyone heard of them? Will they get taken up in to the root system systemically? I haven't seen the tree yet, so I don't know if it's a "sudden death" like he said. It may have died before they did the work. I'll let you know. Has anyone had experience with these chemicals doing damage?
