A long vertical split opened up in my trunk over the winter in Indianapolis
A straight vertical crack in the bark, usually on the south or southwest face, often several feet long. It typically shows up in the coldest stretch of winter, sometimes with an audible bang. In summer it closes nearly shut; the next winter it reopens in the same line. Over years a raised, lipped ridge of callus wood — a frost rib — builds along both edges. On maples it may weep dark sap in spring.

This is a split in the wood itself, not just the bark, running from the outside toward the center. For the tree it means the outer wood is now open to air and water, and it will respond by walling the injury off and growing over it. Most trees live with a frost crack indefinitely and a healthy one closes it and carries on. The lasting significance is that the crack is a permanent line of weakness and a doorway for decay, so a trunk with one is a trunk you monitor rather than a trunk you fix.
What this usually costs in Indianapolis
This is normally a tree trimming job, which around here runs $250 to $1,400 depending on size and access. Treat that as a range, not a quote — nobody can price it without seeing it.
What to have ready when they call
- A photo with the house in frame, so they can judge the scale
- Roughly how far it is from the house, the fence or the drive
- Whether a truck can get into the yard
- Whether there are power lines anywhere near it
