It's had some good work done to it in the past, much better balanced now. The rotting basal cavity might cause its demise. Lovely tree and colour at this time of year.

My photograph doesn't really do it justice, the colours at the time were stunning. It is a majestic tree but I don't think it would be advisable to give it a hug. Long may it stay vertical, I would hate to see it heading for a swim!
