Default Re: Found any neat pics? Street tree failure diagnosis

Notice how flat and sheer the soil and roots are where it met concrete?

Not only is it the concrete but the compacted road base beneath. Then highly likely a soil layer beneath of harder or different profile, like shale or clay etc ... so the whole lump goes over. Like the tree's stability is similar to a mafioso in concrete boots.
