    large hollow white oak removal

    If this tree is beyond the scope of your work, you should leave it alone. "Guys with bucket trucks" this statement does not exude confidence to me concerning their capabilities based upon machinery, as I have seen bucket tree operators get into serious trouble with a large decayed tree...
