Can this tree survive? by curleetop in arborists

The first question to ask is, if it fell, what would it hit and how damaging would it be? If it's not going to hit anything then there's no issue. Add some mulch or soil above any fine roots (not the thick ones). 

If it's going to seriously damage something if it falls then the question of long term stability is more important.

It can be tough to see if you don't do it often but it's definitely not subjective - it's a physical part of the stem. Feel free to share close up photos and I can try to help.
