I'm in south west Ontario and have seen alot of this damage to maples this year and would like to know what it is and how to fix it.
I believe it is called south west disease and what happens is when tree is in winter time(frozen) the sun hits the trunk on the south west side and warms it up enough to split the bark wide open. Not sure if that's correct but i still need to fix the trees so any input would be great.
Can't figure out how to attach pictures.
