Bark inclusion on larger tree

Note the 4 to 5 inch crack associated with included bark in the branch union. Below this point (half way up the photo), there is bark included inside the tree as indicated by the subtle line of distorted bark in the lower right portion of the photo. This branch is weakly attached to the trunk and should be reduced in length.
