Detroit, MI. This tree has been growing since a tiny little sapling. Its almost ten years old and I absolutely love it. The last three years the bark has been pulling back and this last year the trunk splitting has nearly doubled in size. The tree is still growing taller. But some parts are starting to wither quite badly (mostly those areas growing from the split).
Ive called every “arborist” in my town but they arent real arborists, just tree removal services. I tried reaching out to some local universities but never heard back.
I want to save this tree but I keep getting conflicting advice about protective wraps and protective tree “paint”. If anyone could please advise I would greatly appreciate it.
