[CANUFNET] oak planted in tire

Can you excavate and expose the tire and cut it off carefully with a sawzall or grinder?  The tree looks very bad and may not survive much longer anyway.

Subject: *****SPAM***** [CANUFNET] oak planted in tire

HI All 

 

This is an oak planted between 50 and 70 years ago in a tire. It has also had some damage from lawn care. 

 

The Bruce Station Horticultural Society is looking for suggestions on saving this tree as it was planted in memory of their first President. Their goal is to plant a commemorative garden for all the past Presidents in the area. Money is short and skilled labour a challenge in this region. 

 

What do you suggest?

What are priorities?
