I have a 50' shag bark hickory in my woods that's approx. 16" in diameter. One(of only two) of the main leaders up top has some rot in it and the woodpeckers have gotten after it. My question is, with the rot setting in comes the bugs and should this tree be cut down for firewood? I try to thin out the problem trees and I think this should come down. What do you guys think?
