Just read up on this ( in stouts and winter). Its a bacterial infection in the pheloderm or new bark and it rarely infects the cambuim killing branches , although this can happen. Not much control to be done on it, except target prune dead branches.

 

Thanks for the photos Vduben , found this intresting.

We get quite a lot round here, mainly on chalky soils.

 

The wood sometimes has an intersting grain beneath the scars, but never in any big enough lumps to be worth selling!
