I will do my best to explain this, and I dont have pictures, LOL. My Dad put a shed in the backyard 20 years ago behind this Maple tree. He did this because on the other side of the yard was a leaning big Oak that is still leaning. There is a big hole at the bottom of this Maple tree that is leaning towards the shed, I have warned my Dad about this, but he says its the neighbors tree and if it falls it falls. Some of you are wondering why am I even posting this, well my question is how long can a tree with a hole down low stay standing?
Now, I noticed this hole about 12 years ago and each year it gets bigger inside, meaning you can shine a light inside and look up and it is hollow so far up. I should also mention we have a Poplar Tree that is in the same condition but it is not going to hit anything. I told my Dad since the guy behind us is not living in the house that we should cut the Maple down, of course he is the type, if it is not broke, dont fix it.
Because of this scenario I do have an extra saw on hand that has the tru fuel 2 stroke mix.
