We have a large sugar maple on the south side of our house. [gabby]
The last week or so i have noticed lines going up and down the trunk. It looks like the work of a woodpecker but these are like 4 inches long at different intervals on the trunk. Not deep cracks just line indentations. [thinker]
Does anyone know what causes this and if we should be concerned? [dunno]

The bark of the sugar maple tends to be smooth and gray when the trees are young. As they age and grow, the bark usually becomes rougher, with deep cracks forming an irregular texture.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I have the same thing on my birch tree. I used a sealer on it because I noticed bugs entering the cracks. I don't know what caused it though.
