Thanx guys, chuckl. This tree could possibly fall on structures now that the surrounding pines, yaupons, smilax, and grape vines have been removed. The area is deep iron ore sand that water tends to sink into and run underneath if we get lots of rain. Really tall trees that have just also barely made it thru our unusual intense heat/drouth. No groundhogs here. Armadillos, yes. We didn't plant them, they were part of the creek bottoms this area is in.
@stone the oak wasn't really leaning, the trachoe picked its root up. Now, the sweetgum is leaning near it, but from rain and isn't in the picture, it won't hit anything when it goes down.
