ROTTEN SPOTS IN TREES

Lots of parts of trees can start to rot. The most common part of a tree to start rotting is the crotch. Once the crotch starts to rot then the branch is now weakened. Half the tree will fall over since the fibers are weakened and cant hold up the big branches.

The middle of the tree will start rotting too, the tree basically rots from the inside out. This Kills the trees very quickly and its very dangerous since the outer 2 inches of the tree is all you need to have the top part of the tree live. The base of the tree will eventually get so thin that it will fall over and crush everything.

the final common way that trees rot in when squirrels and other little critters invade, Squirrels will find a rotten hole and live in it and scratch around and make it alot worse. If a raccoon gets into a hole of a tree its waste products will pile up so much in the rotten spot that it will rot the tree and kill it. even if a squirrel chews on a branch it will rot from the bark being ripped off of it. trees are good things but when they start to rot it messes alot of stuff up.
