I know that I've seen these cracks, with sap leakage, and the tree otherwise seeming healthy. In that case, I thought it was just the bark was splitting with tree growth. I believe it was a crabapple of mine where I saw this. Perhaps crabapples are susceptible? I'll be interested to hear what you find out. You surely could ask a horticulturist (university) or tree service people.<br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230604596143634141.post-11295426408986598602011-09-13T11:39:02.229-05:002011-09-13T11:39:02.229-05:00I don't know what is happening with your tree,...I don't know what is happening with your tree, but you might want to take some pictures, and then take them with you and talk to the Master Gardeners at your local County Extension office. Sometimes the Master Gardeners have answer clinics set up at your local Farmers' Market as well. They might want to see a damaged bark sample also. They garden locally, and might have some ideas about what is causing the problem with your tree. If you want to try to figure it out yourself, I have a garden plant troubleshooting guide at my gardening website that will give you some ideas. Good luck!Athena at Minerva's Gardenhttp://www.minervasgarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
