About 12 years ago this tree had some major damage. The picture below is about 40 feet up and on the main trunk. The tree is at least 125 feet tall and 5 or more people could not put there arms around the base. My question is how can I save the tree? I have been quoted $8-$17k to take the tree down, which I do not want to do. One arborist said he could put sheet metal around the wound to prevent more water and animals from entering and couple others said not to do that. Also, the tree if 1/2 on city property. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
