This tree cannot be safely salvaged. You can either remove it now, or wait for it to split and then remove it. If it’s big enough to land on something valuable, I’d remove it asap.

Absolutely done. Water is gonna start getting in there and make it even weaker then it already is. I hate to see a nice tree get ruined ðŸ˜ðŸ˜žðŸ˜

If it’s not a Bradford pear I will be shocked

It’s toast. Also, it’s a callery pear. Awful tree. The stump may require herbicide treatment to prevent resprouting.

Toast. Second pic you can also see little fruiting bodies coming out of the trunk as well. If it has any targets it’s got to go ASAP rocky

This tree can be easily saved. Just drill a bolt hole. What’s the downside?

Doesn’t even matter. That Bradford pear should never have been planted. Get rid of it and plant a native tree.

Great firewood – terrible tree.

Oof. Preventable crotch fail

That thing is done for. Take it down. If you want a nicer, native flowering alternative that doesn’t smell weird in the spring, consider planting a dogwood in its place!

Are the breadboard-like holes from a boring insect? Between the holes and the fungus, this tree will not much longer be among us
