Catastrophic root failure

This butternut tree was fully live, with a severely compromised root system. The owners had no idea it was in bad shape. It fell over in a mild wind storm. Trees like this are the reason why site inspection is so critical before climbing and rigging in trees. Our only explanation for why the roots were so rotten was excessive moisture and high groundwater in the backyard.
