I have a very young Japanese Maple that received a small hack in its
bark. (The bark is just peeled away.) The hack is about the size
of a nickel and is located about inch or two above ground level. Here
are my questions.

- Will this young tree be able to repair the damage and live a long and
healthy life?

- Is there anything I can do to treat the injury?

- Or it is pretty much game over and just a matter of time before
insects and/or disease find the weak spot and invade?

- If this is the case, should I just replace it now with a new Japanese
Maple?
