Shredded Bark on Chinaberry Tree

Question

There is a spot of what looks like shredded bark on our Chinaberry tree. Is this something I should be concerned about, and what could it be?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry too much if the shredded place is less than 1/4th the circumference of the tree trunk and 8-10'' long. This article tells you how to fix damaged bark: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/repairing-tree-bark-damage.htm

I imagine you have a critter doing the damage.
