Hi It looks like something has eaten it. Have you checked the rootball? It could be slug damage, or even vine weevil. |

The edges look like clean cuts. I wonder if it is a failed attempt to grow some roots there, to balance out the trunk. If you would like some roots there you could re-cut it and cover it with a good layer of sphagnum moss with more medium on top to keep the moss in contact with the cut. Keep it moist for the rest of the season and you might get some new roots there. |
