[QUOTE="Jay Banks, post: 80746, member: 412"] Your dealing with a river birch, as all before have said susceptable to rot, the form has changed, etc. My opinion is to remove and grind the stump out and replant. From the photo your downspout is on that side of the house so I would use that to my advantage and divert SOME of the rain water to the new tree. Careful not to flood the basement!. Plant the new birch in a slight depression to hold some of the diverted water when it rains. You should get good growth (12-18 inches) each year. Look for the new cultivar called Dura-Heat. [/QUOTE]
