Filling tree hollows with concrete, tar, or foam traps moisture, accelerates decay, and eventually cracks, worsening damage. Instead, cover the opening loosely with hardware cloth to exclude raccoons and opossums while allowing airflow. Hire an ISA-certified arborist (georgiaarborist.org) for assessment.
The tree compartmentalizes decay naturally; filling interferes.
