Black lumps on sycamore tree- help please!
Hello
My sycamore tree has just been pollarded and I noticed that it has several large black lumps on the top of its trunk. I have attached a picture. Does anyone know what these are? Should I be worried?
many thanks for any help!

They make excellent fire starters if you need to light a fire.
Not such hot news for your tree though.
I will wait to see whether it springs to life in spring, after it’s unintentional pollarding.
