[IBC] Fungus?
My tree is a 12 year old magnolia stellata. It's about 16 inches high. I'm in
Washington State. The weather is mostly 70's in the summer, sometimes hotter, and the 40's in the winter. We get lost of RAIN. It lives in my backyard in the sun with late afternood shade. Right now the tree is in a square pot. It won't go into a bonsai pot till the year after next, maybe next year. I have to wait and see how I feel. There appears to be three different kinds of fungus(?) on it. The white lacey stuff, small yellow clumps, and where I scrape the fungus off white little polka dot stuff is moving in. I'm going to go to the extension office and talk to them as another poster suggested. ------------------------------------------- Subject: [IBC] Fungus? From: (Billy M.

I've seen it at work and the crew says it doesn't hurt anything, yet I can absolutely tell how the trees with it are dying out and losing foilage/needles. I've been scraping it off. When I do my leaf cutting it will be easier for awhile. Is there some kind of cure for this stuff? The bark on the trunk is discolored from it. What species is your tree. Where are you keeping it?

Only -- repeat, only! -- water when the soil an inch or so below the surface feels DRY.
