My Bay has developed bark like that without being tied to anything. I think I read here a while ago that this could be a symptom of unusual weather patterns of cycles of drought, wet and cold. The crown of my plant looks fine and so does yours. I’m in a wait and see phase before taking any action!
Is it just this year it’s happened or have you been through a growing season with the bark like that. fingers crossed for both of us
I only noticed it this winter @cork gardener. There is bark like tissue beneath the peeling bark so this may offer adequate protection and also thicken up in time.
