We lost our house to a fire a couple of weeks ago and are now thinking forward to our rebuild and I am wondering if y'all think an arborist would likely be able to determine if some of the live oaks are likely to survive or not. At least one of them has some damage from the fire but I'm also worried about several others that might have some trauma from the demolition process. These are all mature trees... guessing mostly 15-20" in diameter.
Of course we want to keep them if they are still viable but if they are likely to die then removing them now would give us a lot more flexibility on the new house layout. I suppose some of it may come down to if we have any rain this year.
