Golden Plum Tree.
I have notice that I have a 4inch split on the bark of my 5yr old plum tree,and was wondering what has caused it and if it needs treatment also will it harm the fruit. Thanks.

Is there any sign of resin ouzing out? Sounds as though it might be canker - try googling canker plum images for some pics.

Hi, as plum trees are susceptible to silver leaf fungal disease, I would suggest you get some Arbrex seal and heal from your local garden centre, or elsewhere, and paint it on the split, do it in dry weather, it should not affect the fruiting, Derek.
