bark splitting on Fig

[DrewB]

Just some pics of sap weeping from large fig tree and some old wounds from the splitting. Does this relieve the built up pressure? The trees are covered in this

Looks like expansion cracks but they dont normally ooze like that. Might be where the expansion cracks are getting infected with bacterial flux. Nothing structural just the natural process when the tree wants to expand it just splits the bark slowly.
