I think some kind of animal got to it or kids have been peeling the bark, I love this tree is there any way I can heal it or save it? ๐ฅบ
The wound is pretty tall for a bridge graft but I can try doing one (idk if those would work on this kind of tree?) I don't know if those paint on pruning sealants are harmful but that was going to be my first option.
There are earwigs in the peeling area of the wound ๐
Vertical gashes are very survivable, it's when the wound circles around the bark that you need to worry. My rabbits chewed up one side of a ficus and it's been doing fine for years even though none of the bark has grown back.
