Admit that I don't have enough knowledge or experience to make a call on this tree at my buddies place. You guys think it's safe to leave, or go ahead and take it down?

A co-leader broke away, leaving this big nasty scar. There isn't much good wood to hold the remaining crown, even more with this unbalanced shape.
 
Looks like the kind of thing that big winds good swirling around looking for to break. Remove before that.

Removal it is, thanks for checking it out for me everyone, very much appreciated.
 
We found concrete and rebar 60' up in a sycamore once. After ruining a couple saws we got the lead down . Took it back to the shop and burned it. What was left looked like a spinal cord. Some idiot really put a lot of work into it.
