Had a quick butchers hook through a book today couldn't find anything. Don't think its sooty bark though.

I've seen it quite regularly but not thought much of it before.

Is it an old pollard which has been allowed to grow by any chance?

Hi all,

This is an old post i know but...

I looked at a mature Sycamore the other day where one of the main leaders had the same bark damage as pictures 1&2 above. This leader was in decline with very poor vigour, plenty of dead wood and weak foliage compared to its counterpart which looked fine in comparison.

Does anyone know what has caused this on the bark?

Thanks
