A little Kretz on the remaining two stems of a once multi stemmed sycamore. Zone lines showing in the rotten chunk pulled out from the cavity. The other stems already failed in years gone by, these two remain with some major decay, and are now due for the chop.

Any stump pics of the decay will of course follow if I get a chance...
