Update... I worked on this tree for a couple of hours today. First I removed the first 1/2 to 3/4 inch of soil. It was beginning to break down and was real wet. I then began to carefully scrape away the rot!
Well, as you might guess, there was more than expected. I believe I have removed all the rot but will allow it to dry out for a few days before I am sure. Some of the big roots were also soft and rotted. I think i got to it before it was to late. I will check it in a few days, lime sulfur the wound and then use wood hardener.
Does anyone know if wood hardened is OK for open wounds on Roots??
As for a picture, I will try and get one tomorrow!
I am includeing a picture of the tree taken in October of 2001
