NMoasis said: It's hard to tell exactly what that is—a wound or disfigurement. I wouldn't plant a tree or large vine with pre-existing trunk damage, especially at soil level. Needs further examination. Can you pull the soil away from it and take more pictures?

Did you purchase it like that?

Hi @NMoasis , I have attached an additional pic per your request if it it helps and yes, unfortunately it came with the split as well as shipped on it's deathbed. I have nursed it back to life over 4 months lol.

Let me know your thoughts
