Thanks.

For reference, the wound is about 1 ft (30 cm) wide 2 ft (61 cm) tall and 8 in (20 cm) deep.

As for the tree, it had a healthy canopy last year, is at least 80 years old and could be as old as 105 years. Early last summer there was some inch and a half long larvae in the water.

One of my big concerns though was that it was bleeding sap at the base of the trunk this past fall.

I'll try to convince my parents to get a actual, live arborist out to look at it, as it faces west onto a empty field, and as a result leans east toward the house. It shouldn't be too hard, we need to get someone to take down a long dead silver maple in the back yard that is tall enough to reach the house if the right wind hit it.

Again, thanks.
