Has anyone seen this before? I noticed these small cracks on a few of my Dunstan chestnuts when I was in NC last week. A few tiny bugs (mite size) crawled out when I investigated with the tip of my knife.
I covered the cracks I found with pruning sealer, not sure if they’re doomed or not.
I have not put any herbicide on these trees.
I also noticed a few seemed loose at the base. I hope they weren’t disconnected from the root from moles but it’s a possibility .
Other than that, they all leafed out and appear healthy.
