We moved into this home earlier this Spring. The property has several very large cedars, maples, and event a giant sequoia!
Neighbor had a maple fall and destroy their upper floor 2 years ago in a wind storm. I’m worried this one could fall on our house. Does this erosion at the base of the trunk look worrying? Worth having it inspected by an arborist? I know a tree company is going to recommend removal no matter what.

I looked, it’s fine.
There’s a decent chance all those pruning injuries could introduce pathogens. Contact an[ISA Certified Arborist](https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist) with a Tree Risk Assessment Qualification for an on-site assessment.
What a beauty
Congrats on discovering a new hybrid.
Yes, have the tree looked at. It doesn’t look good but pictures are deceiving. But, I’d call the power company and have their arborist make the call. Looks like you have a primary running right next to it.
