Tree trunk damage

We have a well established ornamental Cherry tree and some years ago a large branch (situated approx 3mtrs from the base) was removed. This is now a crumbly area with 2mm exit holes evidencing some sort of pest, although we have not seen any creepy crawlies. Can anyone help identify the problem and or suggest a remedy please?

Thanks.

  • Thank you so much for your detailed reply. It certainly looks as if this could be the culprit and I hadn't picked it up in the list of possible causes. It's a shame as the tree is over 40 years old and such an important part of our garden. 

    Thanks again.
