Sycamore stem - bad or just old?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at my friends Sycamore tree in his garden and he is concerned about the cancerous type bark on the stem. I hope someone on here may be able to advise him as I'm not knowledgable on the subject. The tree is about 18m tall and stands alone in his front garden.

Over 250+ views and no replies , I left wondering why?

 

Is it because it's so obvious I'm a dummy for not knowing? Or is the bark so normal I'm a dummy for not knowing that either? Or is it really difficult to know what is affecting the tree and has got everyone stumped?

First time I have seen this Thread and has a educated guess I would say they are old wounds from possible poor tree work or repetitive climbing Kids on the old branch that has been removed .

Someone will now come along now with another theory lol

It occurred to me that someone working on the branch removals had been wearing spikes when they shoudn't have been.

 

Christ to spike it to that much damage must have had extreme disco legs.:001_smile:
