That's right, this is the work of beavers. I was struck by how they gnawed the trunk at such a height :) It's one thing to prune a tree at its base while sitting on the ground... and it's quite another to sit on the trunk like a bird and gnaw the trunk from all sides. Looks like they've had a few tries LOL
Well, you were the first to give the correct answer and the prize is yours, congratulations!
