Neighbors.

Wild that once you know they are all you see!

Taking over is an understatement.

I feel like I am picking the seedlings at 100 a day from my place at this point.

Moved into this house two years ago and the tree was originally in a small brick flower box. (Can sort of see it behind the red chair , only picture I have before we ripped up the cement). We had an unfortunate flooding of the entire house (which is an entire story for a different sub) but you can see that after the cement was pulled and the grass was put in the tree was still lush.

Now cut to this year and the poor tree is just not doing well and I’m assuming there is some kind of insect that probably moved into the tree seeing that there are what looks like shavings.

Is there a way to save this tree ?

It must of been here for over a decade and would love to keep a deep rooted tree intact without having to cut it down.

Edit:

There is another photo that didn’t load of a pile of seeming saw dust sitting on a branch
