Determining the causes (and proper repair) for a defect is beyond an inspection. But out of curiosity did ya see signs of impact damage and/or large broken branches nearby that would lead you to believe it was caused by a tree limb?
It might also just be movement from an inadequately attached mast, occurring over time (I also don't see any substantial mast attachments).

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...
