Answered for Bargersville, Johnson County.
Common on stressed honey locust and on trees with mower or string-trimmer damage at the base — which is a genuinely avoidable cause. In Bargersville, no street tree inventory exists for Bargersville and it is not among the 23 communities in the Indiana DNR street tree sample, so the picture is an expectation from the build-out pattern: most of the canopy should be nursery stock roughly five to twenty-five years old, not yet over the roofline, with mature shade trees concentrated in Old Bargersville, Three Notch Village and the few pre-war properties. The UDC's Approved Plant List steers new planting toward natives and flags which species may go under utility lines, though the list's contents are unverified. A canker that has girdled more than about half the trunk circumference is structural, not cosmetic.

Sunken dead patches on bark, sometimes oozing, often with cracked margins. Branches above the canker die back.
A canker that has girdled more than about half the trunk circumference is structural, not cosmetic. Small branch cankers can be pruned out; trunk cankers usually can't.
Prune out affected branches in dry weather, well below the canker.
