Thanks Sequoiadendron 4... and fellow neighbor! ;-)

I sure hope not. We've really enjoyed watching the tree grow each year, and we've certainly enjoyed the color changes every Fall!

We did wrap some heavy duty aluminum foil around the base just to see if the squirrels go back to it, kind of like a booby trap so I know if they're still going at it or not. I'll keep an eye out for diseases, etc.

It's really done well and grown since we first bought it in the Spring of 2013 until now. (Pics from 2013 attached) I hope it survives.
