[QUOTE="250R, post: 7742427, member: 4756"] What ever caused the maple to loose its bark happened many years ago. Judging by the callus wound would I would say approx.15 years. Maples are thinly barked trees and doesn't take much to damage them. Many scenarios how this happened. Only a guess at this point. On the large wound I would say it started from the ground up. Remove all the loose bark, trying not to damage the healthy bark. You can also try bark tracing too to clean it up. (It's important to remove the dead bark. Insects will harbor under it and cause further damage). This will help closing of the wound. Crimson King is my favorite broad leaf maple. [/QUOTE]
