My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Advice on a dying tree

6 years ago

I am new to the tree world and trying to help my parents with a tree in their yard. It is located in Minnesota and my best guess is that it is a prairie fire crabapple tree but please correct me if I am wrong.


Please reference the pictures but it is essentially half dead and has been like that for 2-3 seasons. My question is if there is any way to salvage it or if it is best to cut it down at this point? I am unsure if it has some sort of infection or it may have been hit by some lawn care equipment at some point. Someone mentioned grafting to me, is that an option?


Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!
