Our tree has not been looking great and every year looks worse and worse. Our energy company had this electrical pole support wire hammered into the tree and was probably there for 30-50 years. We are worried this tree could get in such bad shape it might come down during strong wind. We are trying to see if the energy company can foot the bill, as it's the only tree in the area that looks like this and it's the only one that had this rusty wire in it. Just curious if this is just a coincidence, or if legit over many years this slowly killed the tree.
If it's a healthy tree we'd love to leave it up, but this tree has had leaves falling off since July and is not looking good.
