I have observed in a couple of instances that trees within 10-20 feet of new 
tower construction  (crankups) have died in a few years. Care was taken to 
minimize any root damage as the holes in question were hand dug. (per the 
manufacturers spec Steve)

Some speculate that lime from the concrete leaches into the soil and kills 
close by trees. Any ideas TTers?
