Two questions about tree health
So I live in Western North Carolina and recently bought my first house that has a few pecan trees and a magnolia tree in my front yard.
On one of the pecan trees, there are a lot of small holes that look like woodpecker holes, but are only in horizontal bands, and they start at the base and go all the way to the top. What do you think caused it and do you think the tree would be okay with that kind of damage?
On the last picture is the roots of my magnolia tree. There are a lot of small roots at the surface and I am wondering if this is okay, or if it should be covered with dirt or mulch?
Thanks in advance!
