Expert Response

It is possible that you may be referring to cankerworms. See the attached link for photos http://extension.umd.edu/hgic/cankerworms-trees
At this point, we recommend that you monitor your tree this coming season for any insect pests.  Once you notice them, you can send us a digital photo for identification.  You may not have a problem this year.
