Plum Tree Trunk Splitting
« on: May 28, 2024, 11:18 »
Morning All

I am new to this site, so pleasure to meet you all!

May I ask a quick question, I have a Jubileum plum tree which I planted just over one year ago that I'm in love with.  I was checking up on it this morning and I noticed what looks like a split in the main trunk.  Does anyone know if this is this normal or if I should be worried?  See photo.  I took a quick look on google, but seems inconclusive.  This wasn't there in the winter or spring.  Its been a very wet spring here in London.

Cheers all

Adam

I'm afraid I don't know the answer - but welcome to the forums and hopefully someone will be along soon  :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Hi there, welcome to the forums.

It doesn’t look as though it’s been stripped by a squirrel. So I’m a bit stumped  :(  It should scar over.

It could be last year’s dry weather followed by recent deluge weather.

I agree with AS.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
