Ruined by my neighbor who wouldn't wait for us to get someone to remove the branches overhanging her roof in a way that wouldn't damage the whole tree. (Yes we WERE working on it and kept her apprised...had somebody lined up who couldn't get to us for 10 days but she wouldn't wait.) She had kids with hacksaws cut enough of the branches that their weight broke them off and peeled into the main trunk. We had some work done on it but the time the cuts were open were enough to attract too many bugs and the repairs didn't take.
So now the tree has to come down. A 50 year old, 35 ft. hackberry. $1500 was the cheapest we could find in a company that is licensed and has insurance. The rest wanted anywhere from $2200 to $3000.
I hope my neighbor will be happy with her new electric bill. That tree shades the side of her house where the a/c is, allowing it not to have to work so hard.
