Since last summer i haven't really been into figs long story short I've been focusing on school and jrotc so i haven't been taking care of my plants and i was away for the summer so the trees have been left on there own im surprised they aren't dead i was lucky enough to come home for a few weeks and the figs were ripening and i enjoyed them... but now most of my trees are waking up and im noticing problems some have slits in the bark trees that look like they survived winter all of a sudden died to the ground and im clueless why so im hoping a person with more experience can help me!

Below is a picture of a tree that's looking great and the other is a tree That's not so good i have no idea where the slits in the bark came from they weren't there a few weeks ago.

The bark on my fruit trees have split only on the SW side of the trunks due to the sun 
heating-up that part of the trunk, causing it to expand and crack. Now I paint the trunks with
diluted water-based white latex paint which reflects the heat. No more cracked bark!

I've always wondered why the bark was painted white. Good to know.
I've never tried it but I suppose wrapping the cracked areas with something like Buddy Tape would be your best bet for recovery or at least as little perminant damage as possible. The cracks will not kill your trees, but the dead tissue under the bark will eventually cause a weak spot.
If possible you could alternately plant the trunk deeper so new roots will grow above the crack and stabilize the tree.

Using tape could actually make it worse, even kill the tree. The only thing worse you could do is use a sealant.

I wouldn't do much about it, the crack seems fairly small. It will heal by itself I think.

One of my young apple trees once had a frost crack from the bottom to the top of the stem. The first months I covered the crack with tape to prevent it from getting infected with fungus or other diseases. The spores are mostly active when the weather is cool and rainy. The crack healed quite fast and it didn't affect the tree, although you can still see the scar.
