Hello All,
Hopefully someone has a fix for this. I have a 20 year old Bloodgood Japanese Maple that has developed large strips and patches of dying bark. Some start at the rootline and stretch up into the branches, some just appear higher up in the branches. Multiple scars, the tree is healing them at the margins but more are sprouting. They first become noticeable as a cracking and splitting in the exterior bark. When probed the bark flakes away to expose a larger scar underneath. I would hate to loose this tree.
Any ideas,
