It’s been a bad week for silver maples at Lakeside. The one on the lakefront was rotten inside, and the one at Second and Peach had a wide but not deep root system.
This home was a classic Dutch Colonial style, with mansard roof. Air conditioner in the bedroom window was still running when I walked past on Sunday morning. The tree appeared to be held up by the bark.
The angle at which it fell missed the house and little porch in the front. Hollyhocks still blooming. It fell Thursday evening during a storm. Also missed the house across the street.
The root system was very broad, but not deep. Seemed to be on solid rock.
