Hi I have a rowan tree in my garden and the bark is badly split. During
high
winds recently a large branch broke off and it was very dry and easy to
break up. I have had a few people at my door looking for gardening work
and
they all say that my tree is dead, but it leaves evey year and has plenty
of
berries.

Any ideas, do I get rid of it or can it be treated.

Thanks

Roddy

Advice from door callers is dubious as a rule~ and in this case
totally wrong. As it flowers and fruits each year it is quite well.
Rowans frequently have split bark that causes no harm.
The branch that fell might have been dead but that would be very
local. Just tidy up the wound if within reach.
Best Wishes Brian.
