3 years ago I bought 2 Dunstan Chestnuts. They had already leafed out and the leaves were falling off.
I brought home and watered and they leafed out again that same year.
I planted them in that fall and one of them must have put on a little growth spurt cause the bark cracked. (Not just on south side)
I’ve just kept an eye on it and some of it has calloused and looked ok well ok at best.
The splitting was in threee large sections that you can see in photo.
I have also let a low limb grow that is roughly 6-8” above ground. Just in case...
My question is would you take a gamble and let it continue to heal and see what happens or go ahead and trim below any damage and just start over.?
Thanks
