Caren HG is notorious for having corky bark. I've personally seen it on two big plants.
This is a not so great picture of Native Habitat's big tree. Susie had it on her big plant that was in her TN greenhouse. Lot's of other people have reported the same corky bark on their HG's.
This cork does not seem to affect the growth or health of the plant. With or without the cork HG still rarely holds buds or shows mature flowers. I don't remember that anyone has ever said the cork spread to or contaminated their other brugs. But on very rare occasions other brugs do get it without HG even being in the collection.
