Jul 31, 2013. #3. Eastern Cottonwood tree with pictures. Please help. I have provided pictures of the Cottonwood tree. The base and roots look good to me the bark also look good.

Some of these trees are in much worse condition than the tree in the pictures you posted. HOWEVER, if this tree is within striking distance of your house, if people picnic under it or it is a general play/use area the risks are very real.
