    I have a Soft Maple tree in my front yard. Last fall we had to replace our sewer line. This cut into a HUGE amount of the trees roots. This spring the city came by and cut a a good portion of the branches on one side as they were getting close to the power lines. The tree is still bare (the only one on the block still bare) and covered in a green moss. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the tree never stood a chance
