I had a large pine tree take a direct lightning hit on 4/2/26. The tree is probably 110 feet tall and the damage extends from the base to about 40feet up. The gash is about 6 inches wide and there's tree shrapnel all over and up to 30 feet away. Is there any saving this wonderful tree?? Thank you so much for any help you can provide. - Ask Extension
