Maple tree branches are naturally somewhat brittle, plus they have a tendancy to form tight V-crotches that are prone to splitting apart.
Extreme pruning practices can result in rampant re-growth with structural defects that are prone to breakage.

Good growing conditions, soil fertility and water management are the best things you can do to promote health and structural strength. And don’t “top” the tree.

If you think there is a pest or disease issue, send us a better description and photos, call your county/university agricultural extension service, or have a certified arborist inspect the tree and advise.
