When I moved into this house, I noticed this tree in the front yard looked like it was slowly dying. There were a lot of places where the homeowner (or someone) had cut off limbs and there is one still there that is dead. I have no idea about trees but I want to save this one. When I looked at the ground I noticed that a previous owner put landscape fabric around the tree and it looks as if it is stuck in the tree in some places. I've enclosed pictures. If anyone can tell me what is going wrong with this tree and if it can be saved, I would really appreciate it. I don't want to lose it. I'm attaching pic of leaf because I don't know what kind of tree it is, pic of trunk near ground, pics that may help you.
