No idee. The crotch looks questionable and the sap i’d guess borer or something?

The man lift blew a hose again so I had to postpone the tree I was going to do today…so I used the Telehandler to do my own. Wifey swung me around. I’m no tree trimmer…
Little one next to it has these scratches or cracks in the bark. Bunch of cats around the neighborhood…?

Decisions, decisions… I cut it off above the limb on the left…I bet it breaks off some day. At least now I can reach all of it from my roof with the pole saw and nothing is hanging over the neighbors.

Speaking of which. A customer friend found a good stump removal process. Big centerless tractor rim around the stump, build a fire in it. Stump burns down into the ground.

At least it does in the desert. It's hit and miss around here using fire to burn a stump.
I was surprised how well it worked on green stumps. If nothing else it will kill the stump so it doesn’t regrow. Euc stumps from two years ago are big thick 15’ bushtrees.
 
The fires in Canada last year kept burning underground right through the winter. Popped back up to the surface in the summer. The air and sky here was not as bad from the Canadian fires this past summer as it was in 23. Seemed like it was hazy all summer long.
