How do I get rid of the tree root blocking the path to the Ganache Mine District?
In brief, examine the root by pressing A by it while on the Caramel River District side. A scene will trigger with Gill, then go to the Carpenter’s Shop while it’s open. You’ll trigger another sequence of scenes that automatically removes the root. Beware, though – make absolute sure to meet Dale before examining the root. Otherwise you may trigger a glitch that makes the root unable to be removed.
