The biggest danger seems to be from disease getting into the wounds.  The aforementioned hawthorn had about half it's trunk killed from rot in the torn up bark.

<x-tad-bigger> Sounds like you have a sapsucker at work.  For  the uninitiated, it's a bird that drills the trees like a woodpecker,  then drinks the sap.  I've seen hawthorns here with bark reduced to lace by them.</x-tad-bigger>
