I marked it purple and hope to keep it alive but even my neighbor said its old.

Would you keep it? I am planning to keep it or is it really too old?

    I would never take the builders/construction company’s opinion on a tree. Get a second opinion if you can’t decide for yourself. A better tree is going to take a long time to mature. Also, construction could lead to root damage and cause the tree to go into decline or lose limbs.

        Even then I would be sceptical. If they know what they’re talking about then they know exactly how little most construction companies seem to know about trees.

          Completely agree. I would be extraordinarily cautious of a builders opinion on anything photosynthetic.

          Turn your back for a second and they’ll have planted a god damned crape myrtle.
