Expert Response

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to give you advice without having a photo.  Is the rootball out of the ground?  I suggest you contact a certified arborist who can assess the tree's condition and make recommendations.  You can find one near you on this webpage:  https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/arboristsearch

Good luck!

I am afraid that, even with a photo, we cannot assess the tree's health.  I strongly suggest you contact a certified arborist.
