Tree was hit by a car a few years ago and there was a small damage to trunk. It was still looking healthy for years, producing leaves & flowers as usual. Now we noticed the small wound from that accident has grown bigger & deeper. Unsure of the age as it was already planted and looked mature when we bought the property. Thanks in advance for your help.
