Otherwise, post a picture if you can. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

True molds rarely develop on trees kept outdoors. If it is indoors it could be the beginning of a mold. Otherwise if this part was below soil level, some sunshine should do the trick. Again there are a few threads available on the search recommended above. Nice trunk, by the way! Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
