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.

Probably, but that isn't important. You will dry the location out
before you treat it.

Perhaps not, Jim, but I've learned from experience that applying lime-sulfur
keeps the jin or shari more clean and free of moss, etc. so that it stays drier and,
therefore, less likely to decompose due to rot.

Ben,

I do not know the answer to your question. But I would like to make a
simple observation of what has been said thus far. It seems that no one
realizes that you just wanted to know if there were a difference between dry rot
and "wet" rot. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that you were only
curious.
When someone asks a question, I really do not think it is up to other
people to determine the IMPORTANCE or significance of such questions. If
someone wants to make a response, don't you think it should be more like "I don't
know" instead of "its not important"? That cuts down the person who asked
it, don't you think? Sorry, I am just irritated that people could be so
careless as to answer in such an immature manner.
