Missing Tree

Catching up on back-blipping after a very busy week. Here's a stump near my house with two robins hunting worms beside it. It's the remains of a tree interrupted in the autumn of its life. The bricks you see are at the top of a chest-high box, evidently created in an attempt to save the tree when a driveway was cut in beside it, and certainly costing most of its root base and its life. I'll bet that there was a dispute involved and the brick box was the compromise. I remember when its trunk stood dead and covered in vines, but I have no idea what species it ever was.
