Could it be sun burned? Are all the split on the
south side or on top of branches?
Are the edges of the split light brown, papery and
irregular?

Subject: [nafex] split bark
I have several 5-6 year old semi dwarf apple trees in my
orchard that apparently developed vertical splits in their bark which seem
to be getting worse as the season progresses. The splits range
from 3-12 inches long and the bark has curled back around the trunks
exposing the under layer. Two questions: What do I do to cure/preserve
the tree? and What caused it so I can prevent it from happening
again? Thanks Mike
