Cherry tree dismantled in Gravesend due to the roots moving fence post, it was only when it was cut down completely that very early signs of butt rot were seen, Cherry trees often get butt rot, so it was a good idea to take the tree down as otherwise it would probably have fallen over in about 5 years. Looking at the pics the darker colour in the wood is the early signs, but if you look at the side cut you can see how it travels up the trunk.
