You must grind down the stump until you get below it. If the attaching main roots have substantial girth, or are too dense in the ground, they also need to be ground away or up-rooted as well, until they will no longer interfere in the future with whatever is planted above.

Richmond, VA Neighborhood streets are lined with gigantic White, Red and Willow Oaks as well as giant Elms, in the City's claimed "right of way. You're not allowed to do any pruning to them, even if you hire the arborist/tree care company yourself. 24" - 36" diameters. Growing in a 30" wide strip of soil between sidewalks and asphalt. Most are loaded with dead limbs that fall on parked cars. When we get a wind event, like a Derecho, many of these trees come down and tell their stories. Almost all of them have giant hollows all the way down to and below ground level. If it falls on your house, you have to fight the city in court to get any compensation.

Putting in a drain just spreads the decay further. While the water is bad, most arborists are saying that while it’s bad, you can make it worse.

Ah, Armillaria mellea, one of my favourite fungi. It was the first edible fungus I ate, autumn of 1984 - ID-ed from books, I decided it couldn't be anything else, and ate one... before coming back the next day (phew!) and harvesting enough for several meals. But it's usually identified in the soil and in the wood it parasitises by 'bootlaces' (at least it does in the UK) which are several mm thick diameter strings of mycelium, black in colour. It''s the best indicator of Honey Fungus. I saw no bootlaces in that root system.

Plenty of interesting trees in this video. Birch trees are fairly common here and they don't really tolerate heavy pruning. I have a multiple trunk Birch growing next to the house, just gave it a light trim, only cut out the few dead limbs and a small dead top. Otherwise I let it be. I have a few maples like the one you removed, one was struck by lightning several years ago and it's really struggling to survive. Two of them are doing well, and the 4th has some problems. One of the main leaders is splitting through the middle. It's still standing but obviously not for long with a serious defect like that. Fortunately for the tree it's not near the house and if that lead did fail it would simply end up in the lawn. I'm going to use my bucket truck and do some weight reduction and then I'm going to support it up high. What I plan to use is much more than needed but I'd rather not lose the tree because it losing that lead would completely destroy half the tree. If it were over the house or threatening anything I care about I'd never consider saving it. But since it's not a threat to anything I believe it deserves help to stay. The tree at the end was interesting, too bad it died. When I saw the white in the roots I instantly thought of white rot fungus. But armillaria mellea is also a strong possibility, especially since most of the old stump from the live oak is still there. That stump not being thoroughly ground out probably had a lot to do with why the new tree didn't last. And yes I watched to the end, I always do.

@@arboristBlairGlenn yes I saw that part. It happens sometimes. Part of the job I guess. I just remembered my dad owns a 1997 f250 exactly like yours, but his is the xl trim level, it doesn't have power windows locks or mirrors. It has a bench seat. Other than that the only difference is it's color is light metallic blue. He stopped by to visit today, was great to see him. He's had his f250 since 2004 I think. It was the replacement for the 1987 f250 extended cab long bed 4x4, 6.9 diesel and a 4 speed manual. I was reminded about that when I saw him pull up in the blue f250 and remembered it too is a 1997. It's had plenty of problems over the years, most of which I helped him fix.

Great bit of work this week. I had always wondered about planting above old stumps that had been ground out.g Thanks so much for taking us thru your diagnostic/detective process for analyzing why the maple died. Did the previous people who.ground out the oak stump even get 12" down? In the tree that had the slime that smelled like alcohol would you say that it was yeast/fungus that was undergoing anaerobic respiration that caused the slime? Or is it bacterial in nature?

So I am assuming that your question is dealing with is the word infected with a fungus prior to putting it on as a mulch. That’s a good question, I’ve asked that at many of the conferences I’ve gone to, and the consensus seems to be that once he chip the tree, it starts decaying and most of the problems are not an issue. Now that does not mean that it can’t happen. Adding wood chips from some species can be a mistake. Eucalyptus, for example, has oils that inhibit growth.
