We have a large Bur Oak behind the woodshed, we've been there 3 yrs now and I'm not sure if the last people stored there wood here or not.....
Just curious if all the weight from the stacked wood may hurt the tree (Dad says not but he's no arborist LOL).
Also the wood had a pretty bad carpenter ant infestation (and huge white grubs). Should I get some ant poison out? Are they likely to go for the tree? Its healthy, 2 small 3" dead wood branches, and a few low hanging branches that I removed prior to have the log truck drop the load (maybe 10 branches 1" - 3").
