If you leave a tree in the ground it will continue to send moisture to the top of the tree. I tell people that I will not carve trees that are still in the ground for this very reason. Yes, the tree is dead... No, it will not come back to life... yes, leaving it in the ground will facilitate rot and bug infestation. I suggest you cut it down and place it in a dry location. Otherwise - it was a good carve, move on to the next one.
