What can I do to save this beautiful red oak

Love these threads, what can I do to save it? Still has some green leaves.

My opinion? Nothing. Sorry. In the southeast we had a really bad drought in 2016 that set the stage for disease, mostly red oaks.

Good pruning right at ground level should do it.

I dont think any thing can be done to save your tree
i would cut it down for firewood

Just found this post. What, if anything, has changed around the tree base?

Save it for about 2 years in splits 18” long.
