We have two large oaks that tower over our cottage. Fortunately, they remain healthy. Over a decade ago, I rerouted the roof runoff — via a modified French drain — away from the trees to discourage excessive growth in those two trees. I did, however, move our bedrooms downstairs when the branches because large enough to potentially smash through the roof into the attic bedrooms. This I would definitely recommend doing now, if anyone sleeps in the top floor.
Oh nooooooo! Such a sickening feeling! I have a strong memory of that tree! So sorry Helen!
