I have a very large maple tree which had a large branch damaged in a winter storm a few years back. Carpenter Ants got into the branch and I had it removed. It looks like the ants dug into the main tree. I love this tree and would like to keep it but I am unsure if it is still healthy or not. I have read that maple trees actually can heal themselves. All the leaves are green and I really do not see any other dead limbs on the tree. Here are 2 pictures to show the damage. This tree is by my house and if it is compromised beyond repair I would have to take it down. Will this tree survive?? Thanks
