Default [IBC] ROT

So while talking about rot and lime sulfer i noticed a
few people mentioned git rot. I ran a google search
for it and found that it said it treated dry rot.
What is the difference between dry rot and not dry rot
are they caused by different fungus'? Is there a wet
rot? If so how do you tell the difference between the
2.


Since Git Rot isn't meant for trees but for boat hulls, it
doesn't really matter. Your trees probably won't have the same
"dry rot" that a wooden boat hull might have.

In bonsai, you would use it much like you would use Minwax Wood
hardener -- to fill punky, rotted areas of wood on your trees
with an acrylic of some sort.

BTW, despite all the bonsai literature to the contrary, lime
sulfur has little preservative properties.
