there was once a huge oak tree at a 4 way intersection that made viewing traffic very hard. after an accident there were complaints to the county to cut it down but for some reason they would not, it was probably on private land is my guess.

any how it died - it took 2 years but it did die. i heard that a few granules of spike were sprinkled around it from a farmer that i knew well.

i have accidentally killed oak and hickory trees with spike and i did not get the pellets with in 15 feet of the trees that died.
