I guess I am worried about heartwood rot in the center of the trunk. As you can see a little bit in the picture, it is quite dark where the limb cracked. I am worried that the tree is now structurally weakened and to basically be a time bomb before something calls on the house :(

Hi all, We are currently going through a massive ice rain storm / wind gusts in Ontario. On Monday, a major limb of my mature sugar maple tree in front of my house fell off. Thankfully, not on our house...! See picture there: https://imgur.com/a/BUR5P My question: Will the tree survive...

Dear all, I'm glad I found this forum. I would really need some of you experienced folks here to have a look at these pictures and recommend a course of action. This here is an established approx 50 years old+ sugar maple. One of the main branch seems to have a significant canker in it...
