Heavy ol reduction that, should stabalise it enough. Not sure on the life expectancy of a Robinia, though i have seen many around the 100yr old mark with similar splits sometimes multiple, it amazes me how they stay standing, then you look closer and realise its been like that for years even decades.

 

Trees are amazing things, i think we can all be guilty of looking at them like man made structures so that when we see defects we assume fell is the only option, only they are not man made, and can grow and adapt to weakness even when left alone, in the urban enviroment though sometimes a human hand is needed, if only to prove a duty of care,
