My black bamboo is getting a lot of a black mold-like growth on it. It's
in
clumps (about a quarter to one-half inch in diameter) around the base of
the
leaves and stems. Located in central-eastern NC.
Any ideas on what it is and should I treat it with anything?
Thanks,
Ed

Sooty mold
It grows on insect wastes.
Aphids ,scales,mealie bugs etc.
