Help tree pests and diseases

Saraleo starts with ...
Hi, I need some help trying to figure out what is happening to my fruit trees.
They are all young fruit trees and most damage is on the trunks some on small branches.
It's on apricot, plum, nectrine, cherry and orange.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm worried I'm going to lose all my trees.kind regards Sara

I reckon they are all too young to have bacterial canker but otherwise that is what it looks like. If you have been flaking off the bark and the trunk is soft underneath then it is bacterial canker. Anyone else?

I had not even considered borers because I have no great experience of them. It could be a possibility. Perhaps someone who knows them better could give a more authoritative opinion. The treatment for borers is supposed to be magnesium sulphate - again, I have no experience of that at all, how and how much.

There is no known treatment for bacterial canker. If that is what it is, they will die. I was told by someone I trust, that it is windborne.
