Help identifying problem with horse chestnut tree!!!!

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

As Mozza advises above I too have seen many HC like this and not associated it with problems.

 

That is provided of course it;s restricted to the bark layer and not the wood, i.e. possibly bark incremental expansion and not an actual split/crack in the wood.

 

I guess it could also be the early onset of the bleeding canker but is seems to straight and regular for that with no obvious 'bleeding'.

 

To prune or not to prune?...hmmm, how's business at the moment?!

 

Cheers..

Thanks for all your help guys the cracks are just in the bark not the wood will let the customer know there is no problem with it
