A few weeks ago we had some serious winds come our way and most of it was during the night. When we were leaving to go to church the next morning we realized that part of our tree was now in the neighbor's yard.
After inspecting the trunk where it broke off I realized it had some kind of borer in it because it was partly hollow and looked diseased. The picture below is where it landed. It was probably a good 4.5 feet long that broke off. We were just starting to see some real progress this year in the growth of the tree, and now I don't even know if it'll hang in there.
