Nothing is sacred. I would build a stone support for it. A wall to keep the tree up. This tree is 200 years old!!! I guess nothing is sacred....
If you read about the tree -- it's been declining regularly over the past few decades and the tree experts recommend that it be removed. A typical magnolia only lasts about 120 years, so this tree, while truly valuable, is on its way out.
You can't force something to remain alive if it's determined to go.
They are going to salvage any usable wood, however, in order to make something that will commorate the history of the beautiful tree.
Your stone wall, while a nice idea, wouldn't keep the tree from dying.
