Bark inclusions in the root system
Bark
included between main roots (see arrow in photo) can be a source of weakness.
Roots with inclusions are not as well connected to each other as roots without
inclusions.
Treatment: It is not clear what to do with this one. You
might slow the growth on one of the roots by removing a side root from it. Perhaps
consider reducing or thinning the canopy regularly to reduce likelihood of failure
in storms on important trees.
