Tropical storm Ophelia knocked down our native redbud tree, Cercis canadensis. Really disappointing. I called a arborist to see if it can be reset.
It also looks like there is a large root that is rotten. Is that terminate damage? I poked around and didn’t see any.
Dear @jblue
Really sorry for your loss. Trees are amazing beings, at least in my view.
The arborist should have some theories.

@esmichelson thanks
@jblue Oh no. Why couldn't it knock down some callery pears (known for being weak in storms) like it did for my neighbor a few years back?
