Keep the tree or no? Building a house and my construction Company said they would take the tree down and plant a better one (lemmy.world)

I marked it purple and hope to keep it alive but even my neighbor said its old.

Would you keep it? I am planning to keep it or is it really too old?

100% this. I would never take a builders opinion on a tree, unless they are also a hobbyist orchardist.

Even then I would be sceptical. If they know what they're talking about then they know exactly how little most construction companies seem to know about trees.

Completely agree. I would be extraordinarily cautious of a builders opinion on anything photosynthetic.

Turn your back for a second and they'll have planted a god damned crape myrtle.
