Hello! This tree is outside our house and today I discovered that it has a big hole inside (at the bottom) and the trunk is hollow. Please can you send someone to check it out?

We love the tree but it could be very dangerous if it falls especially as there is a lot of traffic on our road with families.

Look forward to hearing from you, Shin-Tsyi
