Split in Plum Tree Bark

This morning I noticed this on my Victoria Plum.



I imagine it's not great for keeping bacteria out. What can be done for it?

  • Wispy white threads are a spider's web, nothing untoward.

    There's splits in various places on all sides of the tree although not prolific and upon further inspection, my other plum and green gage also have some 😕 If there was anything oozing out I'd be really worried. I'm going to be getting a tree surgeon out in the near future to give them their first prune, fingers crossed he confirms it's nothing to worry about.
