I cut down a sugar maple out of the front yard this spring, just noticed the other day, it had a growth comming out of the center of the butt log.

I hated cutting that tree down, it was about 60' tall and 36" diameter, but it had some hollow limbs, it was time.
If it went down during a storm it would tear some stuff up, possibly my house or the neighbors house, or cars on the street.

Yup but you have a brand new one coming up and it will grow fast with that major root system under it. Your beautiful maple will be back in no time.

Just throw another log on the fire. You guys are acting like it’s going to be-40 and doesn’t matter it’s the same C or F. What are we going to do when that week in Jan. comes where the day time temperature never get above-30. When you walk outside and the cold air takes your breath away. When you go for a squirt and you have to break the icicle off the end of it. View attachment 1716331102

I plan on hibernating when the temps drop to 40 below. I got my stuffed teddy bear and my favorite blanket ready for that. :lol:

Neighbor lady came over and gave me crap for cutting it down, she said she loved to see the change in color of the leaves in the fall.

Weird thing is I had one on the other side of the property, that also started to get rotted, got taken out about 5 years ago, they were both about the same size.
It would drop all its leaves, the other one would not drop any leaves until it was bare. Never seen that before.

My house is slab on grade. With a crawl space high enough to roll around on an office chair. Before I back filled I put 4” of styrofoam SM 4’ from top of slab all around the house.
Then backfilled on top. House hasn’t moved yet. Touch wood.

Good idea, as we both know about frost heaves.

Noticed the same thing with some of the poplar trees. Most of them died within 2 seasons
