Thanks. So it doesn't mean a thing that my triee is maybe 83 years
old. So I still wonder, Was there any point in digging that hole
ar0ound the tree?


BTW, the 329+ year tree is showing its age, with empty sections. My
tree is as hearty as a young woman, with a complete canopy with no
holes, from above, and last time I was there about 15 years ago, from
below.
