Was driving a road I have been for years and only today noticed a big blackjack oak. I’m in central NJ (near Six Flags) and sometimes I see small or shrub-like blackjacks, but never a proper tree like this! I stopped to take photos. Just some appreciation for a not-so-common tree around here!

As the title states. On my property I have a big coppiced scarlet (I think) oak. The first of the three trunks fell in 2020, now this one today. It looks like there was some degradation from termites or fungi. Wondering if the other should be removed as well.

Never dealt with this before so I appreciate the advice and help!
