I noticed a large defect in the bark of this Loblolly pine in my yard this week. It is as if the bark split upward for 40 feet or so. There isn't any sap exuding but ants are in this area. There is no burn to suggest lightning.

What could have caused it? The tree is probably 75-100 years old and I would hate to lose it. Is there hope?
