[QUOTE="muddy42, post: 8031721, member: 187892"] I still say keep it. But if you ask the question on an arborist website, of course they will say cut it! You like the tree and it takes time to regrow an old tree. Call me a hippy, but its a bit odd and unnatural that modern preferences and health and safety stops trees from growing old and gnarly in a suburban setting. It looks like you have a chainsaw from the photo. So I'd do a quick clean up, maybe an aggressive prune if you are worried about it coming down on your house. If it recovers and gives you a few more years of pleasure great. If it dies and you have to fell it at a later stage, you have lost nothing. [/QUOTE]
