So let's add to the list of results of local flooding: Hundreds displaced, homes infested with mold, unsanitary conditions all around, cabin fever, increased depression, and last and probably least, my tree DEAD. The tree guy came and diagnosed cottony root rot; Bradford pears are susceptible and especially in clay soil with lots of water. When I complained about the rain a couple of weeks ago my tree was green. Root rot apparently takes effect VERY QUICKLY. See the picture of my Bradford Pear in the back yard (green) as compared to the one in the front yard (brown and black).
The removal fee is 200.00, thank you very much. Oh well, I can't complain when I see what happened in the flood plains..

Wow, who knew a tree could go so fast. And "ouch!" on the removal fee.
