This doesn't look good - does it? I spent the day lugging brugs from the greenhouse to my basement. I found 4 or 5 that have these black spots in the stems. At first I thought it was damage from the cold. The spots are on the green wood and are all over the stems.

What is it? I'm assuming these plants will have to be destroyed... but hoping someone will tell me differently.
