Hi Brian,
As I watched the removal of large branches, I saw no sign of hollow
spots or rot. However, the branches did reach out above a main power
distribution line and a busy street. I did not pursue the reason for
the insurer's posture, but assumed it saw a liability claim of some sort
that would be expensive to settle.
