I recently purchase a piece of ground that has an old walnut tree on it.
The tree is really big and looks old. Last year I thought the tree was dead
because it did not flower or grow leaves until late spring. I determined it
was sick when it lost its leaves before autumn. I grow grapes for a living
but I don't know much about trees. Is there any way I can get a petal
analysis done on this tree and if so, do you think that there would be a way
to nurture it back to health, or does this sound like the tree is dying and
there is no hope. The tree is beautiful when it is green, but I am afraid
if it is dying that branches may fall off and hurt someone so I am debating
cutting it down.

Please let me know.
