SouthernOhio - I think we will have to cut it down or something as if it were to fall on our house, it will certainly hit it. We built in an already established forest where the trees in competing for sunlight grew very tall 150 -200 ft tall with their canopies way on top. It has a full canopy of leaves and you would never know that there is anything wrong with it. I always called it the belly button tree as you can see by the picture. I knew that there was a hole in it but I did not think that it was hollow all the way inside.

When trees die on our property. I never cut them all the way down. Instead I make something of it. I would have it carved except now that it is hollow it would be impossible.

Here is the belly button tree.
