It looked healthy but because the strike had spiraled all the way around the tree it effectively killed it. He was not talking about a disease. I was going to post a follow up picture but the day I remembered to bring a camera to take a picture was the day after they cut it down, but all the leaves on the tree had died and the tree was quite dead. There was another tree right next to it that also got hit, but the lightning scar did not travel as much, but it did lose a major branch.Quantumleap42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16711817313734546305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249869099945727276.post-10320385434949413572013-04-12T23:01:12.895-04:002013-04-12T23:01:12.895-04:00"Tree was practically dead" What?
