Answer@aol.com:
This area may represent some level of internal decay that can be caused by a variety of bacteria and/or fungal microorganisms that have gained access to the internal areas. This is a slow, yet progressive situation that is irreversible. You may wish to start thinking about a replacement. There are many trees that offer some desirable features.
