I have a new house and it was built in September. When they were clearing the lot they saved a hardwood tree, but not without damaging it a bit. The tree is about 6-8 inches in diameter at the trunk level and is probably 20 feet high. It has a 3x6 in gash about 1/2 in deep at one part. In addition, im sure the roots were damaged a bit as well as there were a couple pine trees up against it that were removed. They tree lost its leaves about 2-4 weeks early last fall and within the last 2 weeks the tree has had new leaves sprout. However, they are already wilting. Can this tree be saved????
