This article is great and informative ! Thank you ! But I do wish you'd go a step farther ( Perhaps you have and I just have not seen it. ) I have an 'October Glory' Maple tree, that was planted 2 years ago, and is doing fairly well, but all of a sudden the bark is starting to split. There is also sage-green moss growing in various spots, all around the tree, not just the north side. Should I wrap the trunk where the splits are ? Spray with disinfectant ? Paint the splits ?
Your advice would be GREATLY appreciated !
