Dig to find out where it goes. many times large girdling roots like that have already taken over for other roots. are there any symptoms in the crown that could be linked to the root issue?

Yep. Find the source. Norway maple?

 

[stheis004]

Yeah Norway maple, crown looks healthy, thanks guys

With maples, don't be surprised if you find more.

 

[stheis004]

Yeah, I guess I’m just trying to figure out can I do anything about it now or is it too late?

May have to be done in stages, depends on what you find.
