hole in willow tree trunk

Good question. I am glad you asked that question. I myself would not bother
to fill a cavity.
Filling the cavity will not benefit the tree. Do not install drain tubes.
If you do, do not break the boundaries in the tree. Don't wound wall 4. If
you did fill it, fill it with a flexible substance. Foam maybe. Do not use
cement because trees are almost constantly moving in place. The cement
would not be flexible.
Don't forget to treat the system, not just the wound. See proper mulching
