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.

I'm with Brian on this, if you want to keep it just tidy it up a bit.

Have a look at this one in the Clwydian Hills, it's been like it for
years. I passed by it again last week and it's still the same.
