I suspect that this was originally 3 trees that grew together and that (as they grew larger) they enclosed an opening that became smaller and smaller but was still large enough to allow water and road dust in - contributing to internal rot and freezing & thawing stresses. I've driven by the...

The leader that failed was closest to the porch of the building (plus or minus 40 feet) , the prevailing winds blow toward the historic building and the (now) missing leader was all that stood between the tree blowing over in the next storm and the building. It scares me just thinking about it...

I will be printing this 'conversation' out and giving it to the owners with an explanation about the sarky cavity-filling posts. I did the once-over as a favor to a client who's friends with the tree's owners - not even billable. Drat! Perhaps the goodwill will translate to some future work...
