bark. This year they are both dead. This year, one of my cherry trees is
doing the exact same thing. There is no sign of insects, no stress, no
disease that I recognize - just the peeling bark. I'm afraid the tree will
go the same path the my apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.) did. Anyone recognize this?

would that be Asian Long nose beetle damage? I hear they're evil and
tenacious. not sure if they're down here in Tennessee yet, I hope not.
apparently their appetite is huge for everything.........sugar maples,
tulip poplars, anything they can bore into and down deep for their
eggs to live, hatch, eat outwards causing death in the tree in two
years.......wow...anyone with a clue to this? I've seen it in other
trees, and had it on my old black cherry tree. it never died from it,
though although it was huge and over 75 years old. just the part the
flaking was on.

Not sure. This goes all the way up the trunk. I just took a close look, and
did not see any sign of sap leakage. Where the bark peels, the wood
underneath it is dead. I can peel off dead chunks of wood that go as much as
a quarter inch into the tree. I just looked at my other cherry tree, and it
is starting to do this also.
I've looked at several cherry/fruit tree sites, but have not yet found
anything that describes what I'm seeing.

You have a tree that has had its trunk wounded. Something wounded the
trunk. I would start here looking for causes of decline in your fruit tree.
Also MODERN ARBORICULTURE would be a good book to guide you through tree
planting and beyond. http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/MARBOR.html
Worth the effort.

Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us

Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
