Japanese maple wound care

[MervMaster]

Hey all,

I have a big Japanese maple in my yard that has had a large wound since before I owned the property. It’s pictured below.

I’m looking for advice on what to do to help it along. It’s a vibrant and very healthy looking tree aside from this spot, but I’m sure that if it’s not treated that this will be a deadly injury.

Any thoughts?

Old tear out wound with advantages roots. It's best to just leave that one alone. Proper tree management starts with a soil test. Adjust PH and fertility accordingly, install mulch bed monitor soil moisture.
