I've had an apple tree mostly die last winter, and I doubt it will fully
recover. It was growing well, in some of my better soil, a few years old but
not yet making fruit, a known hardy variety on a possibly not as hardy
rootstock. I see now it has a vertical crack in the trunk which isn't fresh
and I suspect happened in a previous bitter winter.

Isn't this supposed to kill a tree right away? How many years can a tree
last with this damage? Did it suffer as much damage from the too mild
2015-16 winter?

Tanis Cuff, s WI, deerflies and ticks and mosquitos all active but I still
have a lot of work to do
