California Redwood Tree ?
We live by the coast in So. Cal. and have two redwoods on our north side
close to the house. We bought this house about 3 years ago only to learn that the prior owner topped the largest of the pair. Now, its upper, small branches are dying and the upper trunk is turning grey, but it is filling in heavily along the lower side, and the lower 3/4 trunk looks good. We understand that these were planted from seed by the first owner in 1947. The topped one is about 40-50', with a trunk base diameter about 3.5-4'. Obviously, this is the one I'm concerned about. It's a majestic tree. Will the topping prove to be fatal? If not, what should I have done, and with what credentials, if need be? This tree means a lot to someone raised in the midwest. Jack |
