What’s going on with my Chinese elm ??

[hanSalad]

I purchased my first tree (an 8 year old Chinese elm) and it’s arrived with these kind of markings all over the trunk. Really new to this and I can’t find any answers online so I’m just wondering if anyone could tell me what this is/if I need to do anything. Thank you !!

White stuff is lychen and the brown look like wiring scars. Is that what you are talking about?

I was on about the lichen, thank you! I was worried it was a fungus I’d have to remove

Help! What’s going on with this bark

I purchased my first Chinese elm and it’s arrived with these markings all over the trunk! Has anyone seen this before and can tell me what this is/what to do about it? I’m an absolute beginner so I’m just concerned something is wrong with my tree. Any advice is greatly appreciated
