This crack developed about a year ago and it’s been causing me some anxiety. I had a certified arborist come out last year and she didn’t seem concerned. But I wanted another opinion on this. It’s a huge tree so I worry about structural issues. It had developed a lot of growth on the lower part of the tree over the last couple of years due to the tree that was beside it going down in a major storm.

A certified arborist came out in person and inspected the tree, and told you it’s fine. Yet you want a second opinion based on one photo from a bunch of random redditors?????
If you want a second opinion. Call another arborist. This was not the way
Growing pains. There’s nothing wrong with that tree. You worry too much.
No
No.
No it’s fine.
Coat the tear once per week with Milk of Magnesia for 12 weeks and it’ll be fine.
