Trouble with my Autumn Blaze Maple

44Joseph · 24th August 2011, 06:53 AM

Can someone help to identify what is happening to my autumn blaze maple. This year the trunk and outer bark has split many times, leaving large gashes in the trunk that have been very deep and penetrating even the next layer of inner bark. It also is displaying dark black patches on the bark and in some cases is ozing black sap. (please excuse my ignorance when referring to tree anatomy). I planted it 8 years ago in which i would say at the time was already about 12 feet tall. It has thrived up untill this spring and grown to 25feet. Can anyone help me in my attempt to save this beautifull tree and 8 great years of growth. Cheers.
