Our white oak was hit by a massive lightning strike. I had my parent’s “tree guy” come to look at it who was surprised that it was struck a little above halfway down but not at the top. Lots of bark is missing. He said it needs to come down to the tune of 3000$ and will have to remove part of my drive way to get his truck into the yard. This tree is very close to my house and if it falls it could definitely hit something vital. I would love to save this tree though but need to know if it has a prayer or does the danger outweigh the preservation ? Bear with me, I’m a nurse but not good with plants, trees etc. thank you for any help
