Tree possibly dead
My mother has a plum tree in the garden that hasn't grown any leaves or fruit in a while. Not sure how long but they have bought a new one to replace it so im assuming during the winter at some stage. Is there anything I should look out for or do before I cut it down.
My plan is to cut it up into small chunks and store in the shed for a year before I use it. Is there anything to look out for to avoid poisoning myself.
