I live in Heflin Alabama. I have an old Oak Tree that appears to be dying. It has a fork in it about 20 feet off the ground and one half of the fork is what is dying. It dropped all its leaves this summer and now the branches are starting to fall. The limbs that have already fallen are upwards of 8 to 12 inches in Diameter. If I had to estimate the age of this tree it would be well over 100 years old considering its size. I am just trying to figure out if there is anyway to save the tree, or if I should have it topped out or cut off all the dead stuff. I have noticed some moss up in the part that is dying. One thind I have done that might have hurt the tree is sprayed the trunk of it with Round-Up heavy brush killer to get rid of the poison Oak and Ivy that was growing up it.
