[CANUFNET] oak planted in tire

[Jack Radecki]

I have inspected trees like this over the years. Although I cannot see the
tire in the photos at this point cutting it off would do little as the tree
has been declining now for many years and past the point of any return. I
would suggest that a tree risk assessment is undertaken if there are targets
nearby or proposed  - e.g. garden. Removal of unsafe deadwood is suggested.
If I can see a picture of the tire it would be helpful to see the amount of
girdling that has occurred.

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?
