u/Head-Pomegranate-547

Over the winter a deer or something munched this lower branch of my cherry tree. I cut the damaged branch off, and I saw green underneath so I hoped it would be fine. The bark now has an 8 inch split straight down the middle, and I noticed sap popping out in several places. This is still a young tree and I would rather take the loss now if thats the best option. I got no blossoms this year, just leaves.
