I have eight maples trees planted on the sides of an office building. Four trees on one side and four on the other. On one side the trees are doing well, on the other all four trees have lost the top4-6 feet (looks like they are just dying from the top down) The trees where planted all at the same time using a tree spade. I am wondering if the roots are possibly girdling on the dying trees. The building is one story and only 50 feet across so there is neglible difference in the living conditions for the two sets of trees. Anyone with any ideas would be very welcome to comment. Thanks Kerry
