A pre-existing wound or excessive pruning exacerbated by fluctuating weather and growth extremes may cause the bark to split on fruit trees. /

The bark is generally made up of dead cells, on the other hand, secondary growth in the vascular region of stem keep on increasing the girh. The cell of the secondary cortex keep on dividing and elongating to keep pace with the girth of stem. The bark cells being dead can neither elongate nor divide, hence it starts splitting.

Is the birch tree a fruit bearing tree?

Yes, it is. Most people misunderstand what fruit is; apple, peach, banana, plum, pear, those are obvious fruit trees that everyone would recognize as such, but this is going by the purely horticultural definition of fruit. But more broadly, all trees that produce flowers are fruit-bearing trees, because the seed-containing ovaries are classed as fruit. So yes, the birch tree is a fruit-bearing tree. An interesting note about birch is that its fruit was used as a food source by the Incas.
