Hi all. One of my neighbours has a royal palm, about 20 feet tall with a dbh of about a foot. It has a crack in the trunk that starts a little above the base and extends upwards about 7 or 8 feet. It is on the edge of the driveway so it looks like a truck ran into it at some time... The crack goes is pretty deep. I would guess that about 1/3 of the trunk has been compromised. The remaining 2/3's seems pretty solid.
Should this tree come down?
