My tree is very damaged. What should I do?

Chinese evergreen dogwood. Partially heaved up in storm. Has 4 trunks. Was pushed back down into soil and staked. Seemed ok for a month. One trunk's leaves browned and fell. Now all the other trunks green leaves dropped. Green on most ends. Should I leave it alone or get rid of it?

Answer

Thank you for your question. Your tree should be looked at by a certified arborist (professional tree specialist) in your area to assess any further precautions and ongoing care it may need. Please consult the International Arboriculture Society link to find one.
