Expert Response

Thank you for your question and photo for Extension Master Gardeners. In order to help you, I need some more information from you. Did the top break off in a storm? You mentioned what critter would do this. Did you just notice it or was the break gradual?  Did you find the top branches in your yard or nearby? This information would be helpful because this damage is very unusual. Just reply to this email and I can help you further. Thank you!
