Hi, I've noticed the bark on the base of my tangerine and naval orange is sort of peeling. The rest of the tree appears to be doing just fine just a bit worried about the trunk. Is it malnourished? It isn't a big tree and has only been in ground for not even a year yet. Here's a couple pics if anyone knows whats wrong. Thanks for all your help.

Oooh! That looks nasty but sadly I can't help you with this one - I'm sure someone else can. Good luck!

Could be the soil staying wet

On the side of my house. So it gets mid-morning to mid-afternoon sun, although temperatures have been up 117, I first noticed it around April, May.

Could there be something chewing on it?

Not that I've seen.
