Bark separation a sign of trunk decay
Body
Dear Neil: After reading your helpful advice for a long while I now fear I need some personally. I had a relatively minor limb cut from my pecan tree less than one year ago. Now there seems to be a very large amount of bark falling from the trunk following recent winds. I don’t know if it’s related to the trimming, but I’m very concerned. What might be happening?

What is some advice that you can give your younger self?
Harrison Vance: To not rush your life. I was so focused on the next thing, the next item on the “life checklist” that I felt like years slipped by in a blink. So, don’t rush toward the finish line because it comes to you.
LJane Thomas:
That it’s okay to be selective with the people that you let into your life. Welcoming everyone makes you feel like a good person, but after a while, you realize that they can really affect your direction, mental health, and happiness.
