Apple tree bark turning orange and coming off

Question

Hi all,

 

Hoping you may be able to help with a problem we have with our apple tree - photos are attached.

 

We live in north of the UK and moved to this house 3 years ago. The apple tree is very old and produces loads of fruit.

 

I noticed a few months back that bark has started coming off the bottom of trunk. This area is orange and the same colour has started travelling up into branches. We love this tree so I'm worried that it may be something bad.

 

I removed some fairly large branches (up to around 4 inches diameter) in March 2021 to allow for small shed which will have been about 5-10% of the tree in total. Other than that, I trimmed the canopy a little but haven't done anything else to it since we moved in.

 

I'd be really grateful if someone could let me know if they know what's wrong with the tree and if it can be remedied?

 

Thanks very much,

Jack
