My tree got struck by lightning today and now it has a huge crack in the center! How likely is it to die?

    Very likely. So sorry for your loss.

  2. Even if, by some miracle, it did manage to survive it’s lost it’s structural integrity and should be removed asap. It’s likely one good wind storm away from failing completely.

    Actual arborist here. A lightning strike is not necessarily an immediate death sentence, nor is it a near-term death sentence. Based upon the information provided, wait and see.
