cracks in bark on Royal apricot tree

Hi all. I planted a Royal apricot tree about 6 weeks ago. It developed small hairline cracks horizontally, I have seen a small amount of amber colored sap but no evidence of insect infestation of any kind. The tree is about 1.5" in diameter and was purchased from a reputable nursery. Any idea what could be causing this and should I be concerned? It is part of a high density planting and shares space with a Blenheim apricot and a Surecrop nectarine. Thanks, Karen
