Maple Shutter

Any ideas on what tod with a huge maple tree with a half hollow trunk?

We have a huge maple tree in our front yard that has a trunk that is half hollow. We’ve just moved here and to tell the truth neither of us noticed the tree when looking at the house. We were more concerned with the house and the tree shows no signs of problems. It’s trunk is hollow on one s ide (looks like a problem years ago) and we are worried that it will fall over.
My fiance’s mother has an old cotton wood that had similar problem and she filled it with concrete. It’s been that way for years and no problems as of yet. Anyone ever heard of that? Is that a GOOD idea? It has worked for her, but I worry that when time comes to cut it down, it will hamper the process. I shutter to think about the sparks from the chainsaw !!!!!
Any ideas or answers as to what to do?
Thank you!

You can pursue the disclosure idea but I would leave the tree alone. The tree and the damage have survived many storms. Do not use concrete or any kind of sealer, it will antagonize the damage. Getting someone to look at it would be a good idea. They will probably recommend remedial pruning to stabilize the tree. RScott
